These were all major improvements to the overall corridor/context that the Massey Tunnel belongs to. Meanwhile, there hasn't been a new rail rapid transit station in Surrey for over 25 years. And we were about to let long-held ambitions of extending SkyTrain to Langley city languish in favour of a network of surface LRTs with a significantly inferior design.
I ought to have said more about this before but the Massey Tunnel is definitely not the 'next in line'. I don't like to be the guy that puts down infrastructure projects we need and I'd like to see new Massey corridor capacity get off the ground within the next 4 years. But make no mistake, if we had come out of this last election with a B.C. Liberal government, they would have put the 10-lane Massey Bridge (on a corridor that IMHO will not need 10 lanes for the next 50+ years) ahead of the completed SkyTrain extension from Fleetwood to Langley.

I'll go out on a limb and put forth that a skytrain extension to Langley will have, at best, one iota of an impact on a Massey crossing.
