'Activists' would not have been able to stop the Province from letting a construction contract. The opposition that mattered was from the Mayor's Council. In 2013, then-B.C. Liberal Christy Clark said if she was re-elected the party would build a replacement, and the government settled on a bridge later that year. The tolled project was only in pre-construction by the time the 2017 election arrived, and the NDP made no commitments to continue it. When it was cancelled, no announcement had been made on which of three bidding companies would build it, or what the actual cost was expected to be.
