Is a north south freeway more needed than an east west one? Anyways I got this email from some woman in the MOTI.

Thank you for your email of October 23rd, 2017. My name is Anna Kosmala, Area manager here in the Lower Mainland and I have been asked to respond to your enquiry.



To answer your question directly, yes – It is (probably) technically possible to build a freeway bypass through this area. There have been suggestions made in the past to upgrade or tunnel along the Knight St or Boundary Rd corridor and we thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately the route you’ve suggested would almost entirely fall under the City of Vancouver’s jurisdiction, of whom you would need to approach directly for support on this proposal. The Ministry’s focus and main consideration for development is on provincial traffic, namely highways – and though this traffic does use the Oak St to Lions Gate route, our jurisdiction is limited at each.
