Apparently so.

One guy I talked to said he would rather send his guys over the Patullo even if it adds 30min-1 hour to the trip because he saves $1500 a month by doing so. The only way to get rid of this mindset is to just toll all the crossings asap.

Ideally, you would see TL impose new restrictions banning trucks between rush hour.

I don't like it, but one planner made a good point about the roads inability to handle an increase in traffic. Imagine adding more cars to McBride, Canada Way and 10th?
