NDP questions plan for Massey Tunnel upgrades
Adrian Dix says creating jobs and skills training should be the priorities

When it comes to election promises, Dix thinks there are more significant priorities such as creating jobs and skills training.

Basically, a vote for the NDP is a vote for not moderning this ancient piece of infrastructure.
Steveston Hwy / 99 could be another Cape Horn Interchange-esque revamp... but honestly, if the new tunnel would go C/D, then they could make the 2/2 "C" system terminate more or less with Stevenston Hwy with some fancy large-radius ramps.
In all fairness, the 3-1 configuration in the morning sends 3 lanes of traffic northbound, so maybe the existing Oak Street Bridge could handle an expanded GMT. the c/d system on the south side could extend as far as the SFPR...
Tolls on this project would be a must with AFB as the free alternative.
But oh wait, I forgot, the NDP is coming to power soon.
Dare I say I already miss Kevin Falcon and his army of marching men with shovels, flanked by bulldozers, dumptrucks, and asphalt layers?
