YVR isn't stupid, they will make the right business case for what works for them. And a 3rd runway isn't imminent. Much larger airports have only 2 runways and function fine. Letting land go underutilized out of the future possibility of redevelopment is crazy. We need industrial and logistics development now, this region is so short of space. They are certainly making the right decision, and if a new runway is needed in the future, something can be decided then.

I don't agree at all about the access. They have the dedicated Canada Line. And the roads into Sea Island are fine (except when McArthurGlen opened). The connector route from Sea Island to the 99 is short and quick. Truck/commericla raffic to/from YVR does not go through Richmond Centre and cause congestion. The congestion is with the 99/91 on ramps, but that is the case no matter where you locate things.
