The MoT is definitely doing their part to ensure the highway is wide enough. The problem than become the roads attached to the highway. Vancouver is not adding one more lane of road, as is Burnaby, etc. Surrey isn’t really adding more road-space for the highways either. What you end up doing is shifting the bottleneck around. I guess Surrey could bulldoze all the buildings along 152nd and 104th to make room for a highway (much like is happening for the South Fraser Perimeter Road), but I’m sure that’s not going to happen…<BR/><BR/>I like what they did why the replaced the Lion Gate Bridge. The made the bridge safer, but they didn’t expand the amount of lanes…<BR/><BR/>I heard an American planner say that once you get past 4 lanes, the value of expansion exponential decreases.Nathan Pachalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17647693133663879821noreply@blogger.com
