I sent an email to Claire Trevena just to see what kind of time frame we are looking at for the release of the public report. This was the reply I got from her department:
Thank you for your email regarding the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project.
The provincial government is working to find a solution for the George Massey crossing that addresses the congestion and safety issues along this corridor. As you know, Stan Cowdell, a professional engineer with expertise in major infrastructure projects, led an independent technical review of the options available for the corridor. Mr. Cowdell submitted his report to the ministry in late June.
The ministry is thoroughly reviewing the report to consider its findings and possible next steps.
In the fall, the Honourable Claire Trevena, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, will discuss the findings with Metro Vancouver and the region’s mayors to ensure that any future direction on the tunnel crossing is supported by the people in the region.
Lisa Gow, Executive Director, Major Projects and Alternate Procurement, would be pleased to answer any questions you may have regarding the review and can be reached by telephone at 250 356-0514 or by email at
Lisa.Gow@gov.bc.ca.
Thank you for taking the time to write.
Regards,
George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project team
