Sigh. This talk of who needs/wants a car is becoming more of a urban vs suburban lifestyle debate, which I'd wish not to debate here. Personally, I'd favour a more environmentally sensible type of development that is denser and more oriented towards shorter and greener commutes, but anyway...

I'm pretty sure there are more moderate opinions here like me that favour a mix of road and transit expansions to add traffic capacity and promote a sensible and appropriate mix of transport options for all types and volumes of traffic.

In the case of the George Massey Tunnel, I'm thinking that a toll bridge of three or four general traffic lanes + one HOV lane in each direction beside the existing tunnel is the most likely option. Assuming traffic stays steady, three lanes should handle existing volumes; however, induced demand and future expansion concerns probably favours four lanes over three.

In some ways this proposal sounds like a repeat of the ongoing Highway 1 / Port Mann Bridge project... lol.
