I'm not sure I believe either side in the debate. From Yaletown I always take Pacific Blvd out of downtown and it's fine. I'm sure it will continue to be fine.

There is a real divide between the downtown peninsula and the NEFC area. Extending Georgia down the hill and into that area in a pedestrian friendly manner will surely help.

I'm looking forward to finally seeing some change and development in NEFC. If the viaducts have to come down for that, so be it. Life will go on. Just like every other change around here that people claim to be "anti car", after a few months nobody seems to care. I'm so tired of this crowd saying the sky is falling every single time.

For the record, I was against the removal when I first heard of it, as a gut reaction. Now, I wouldn't say I'm for it, more like 50/50, but I am looking forward to some change.

I'm the same way. Neither for or against. But if seismic upgrades are going to cost a fortune, then I guess that would tilt me in favour of demolition.
