These discussions on the OSB and KSB, just make my point - all you're doing is spending billions of dollars to move the congestion somewhere else. That is bad planning. So then you rebuild the OSB and KSB - then what - widden Oak Street and Knight Street to accommodate more cars? Why not just build a freeway through Vancouver then?
We're moving backwards with these bridge projects. Port Mann as built was a mistake - you won't agree with me now, but you will in 10 years from now when it is congested and backup worse than it was before.
