Option C is great for New West, terrible for taxpayers, and of all the Mallardville destroying options, it does the best job.
Why does New West get to have all it's truck traffic in a tunnel on the perimeter while Mallardville has to suffer destruction of it's historic core?!?  |
They shouldn't that's just the thing. They have 1/5th the population of Surrey thus should have 16% say in the final Patullo bridge configuration imho.
Same deal with this, Coquitlam has double the population so New West should have 33% of the say. Not 50/50.
Isn't that how democracy is supposed to work?
*shrug* guess we'll see what happens. I certainly don't think the tax payer of Metro-Vancouver should have to pay a sizable amount more just to make New Westminster happy when they are actually the cause of all their traffic woes.
