Liberal MLA Ralph Sultan in Legislature Monday during debate on merits of gas price caps:
A recent Ministry of Transport study of highway congestion on the North Shore, in my riding, in connection with the Lions Gate Bridge pointed out what we should have realized all along: that we must rely more and more upon mass transit to make our way around metro Vancouver. So it’s really hard to conceive of any meaningful tax or price relief on that front.
He’ll be glad to know that in 2009, with the new third Seabus, there can be 10 minute peak-hour service. Plus, maybe he facilitate finding a new site for the North Vancouver Transit Centre, which is woefully inadequate for current service, let alone any expansion.
Yes, another example of a municipal council impeding transit infrastructure due to residents’ complaints – the BC Rail site is now slated to be the home of a Costco.
