From my perspective, although people may say the issue they have with it is the size/cost of the bridge, I think the real issue people might have but are not outright saying is related to the priority this project is getting. It's a general contemptuous feeling from the public that this project gets to go ahead, but transit funding and various other projects in the lower mainland do not. The prime example is the Pattullo Bridge which has burst into
flames and has been
literally falling apart. It still has no funding secured. The Broadway subway is an example just the same. (I don't think Surrey is an example because I think Translink may be interfering in "LRT" plans)
