Another four or so lanes across the inlet would solve everything for the rest of the century. That's the difference between it and traffic issues to the east and south.

Completely agree!!! When the Lions Gate is just one lane in a particular directly that must be a world's record for the fewest lanes between two populations of their respective size. It's enough already!!
Given this week's 'bump' issue, the Lions Gate isn't even able to support transit or trade let alone cars. The counter-flow system is taxed to the limit, even switching lanes every 15 mins does nothing any more, tipping point has occurred and now something MUST be done!!
Keep in mind, this 'single lane' also serves downtown-west side-richmond-airport to BC Ferries and Whistler! On a global scale it's nothing short of insanity!
