If you guys donèt agree with the Valley Line then fine, we will agree to disagree.
That however does not change the fact that you have bumper to bumper traffic on an increasingly dangerous HWY#1 and slow or even non-existent service to many post secondaries and the guge Gloucester Industrial area both of which represents thousands of students and workers to say nothing the general population itself.
Seeing the province has basically rolled back most of the HWY#1 expansion and there are absolutely no other highway projects online for at least a decade in the entire LM, what exactly are your alternatives. The SoF is growing MUCH faster than NoF and that will continue, buses canèt keep to schedules and are slow due to ever increasingly
congestion, and SkyTrain to Langley Centre will not help any of the stated areas.
It will take at least $3 billion just to bring SoF highways up to a standard that it would be in the trest of the country. Is that something you support and if not, what are your alternatives? Decisions are always best made when they are informed ones and I am trying to keep an open mind but with the province basically rejecting any significant highway spending, I simply don't see any alternative but the Valley Line to connect the people and places in SoF.
