They have and it is quickly increasing.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it in the best interest of the economy of B.C. to get more of those ships to come to the Port of Vancouver?<BR/><BR/>When they do, if the trucks can't quickly and efficiently get out of the Lower Mainland, that's not good, is it?Robert W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11450265399740128136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14015236.post-38553058331888442022009-02-10T15:56:00.000-08:002009-02-10T15:56:00.000-08:00How does adding a large increase in truck traffic ...How does adding a large increase in truck traffic help ease congestion over the Port Mann... isn't that a direct contradiction to the reasons we are told this is happening on the news? <BR/><BR/>Interesting that he told your group that the project was intended to help the flow of truck traffic not cars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14015236.post-87144307774557487832009-02-09T07:12:00.000-08:002009-02-09T07:12:00.000-08:00There's a big difference, of course: The Sea t...There's a big difference, of course: The Sea to Sky Highway is the only [practical] route to get up to Squamish & Whistler.<BR/><BR/>With that said, I would have no problem adding a toll to the Sea to Sky as well, perhaps though waiving it for people who have to commute on it on a regular basis and make less than 'X' per year.Robert W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11450265399740128136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14015236.post-7916388215420231082009-02-09T00:19:00.000-08:002009-02-09T00:19:00.000-08:00There shouldn't be tolls on the Port Mann Bridge u...There shouldn't be tolls on the Port Mann Bridge until there are tolls on the Sea to Sky Highway....
