The only open house in Richmond to review documents for an environmental assessment of a planned $3.5 billion bridge to replace the George Massey Tunnel took place Tuesday afternoon at a local hotel. Outside the relatively sparsely attended meeting — hosted by provincial government transportation planners and members of the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) — was Fraser Voices, a small group of protesters.
Richmond resident John Terborg spoke for the dozen or so activists.
“Most definitely this project should be completely scrapped, but we’re not opposed to an improved crossing. We think it’s absolutely needed and it’s a priority…We’re for what’s already been announced, which is improved transit through the tunnel, such as rapid bus service out from White Rock, which would immediately assist any congestion…We are in support of light-rail service that would connect the Fraser Valley,” he said.
