Apart from being in the "Driving" section of the Vancouver Sun - which runs to TWO full sections - the most interesting part of the article from an infrastructure perspective were the references to the Border Infrastructure Program, which sort of drive home the fact that light industry has been forced from Vancouver to Surrey and Langley:

Quote:
"Number 10 Highway is a major truck route and when the improvements are done we'll have four lanes all the way to Langley," he says as the Aston picks up speed and the exhaust note rumbles the cockpit-like cabin.

"And 176th Street, a two-lane road that goes to the fourth busiest border crossing in the country, is going to become a four lane and hook right into the TransCanada [highway]."
WOW! FOUR lanes! That's ONLY TWO LESS than any of Granville, Oak, Cambie, Main or Knight streets!
