Its more cause of the up keep since it is a older bridge. I don't like it either
Yes I know there's a new bridge going in so you can understand the tool but
How do u think we feel the same thing is there nothing we can do about it

richmond's economy is going to go down the shit hole when this happens.

Most of their customers are from Vancouver.

If there is a toll, I am sure most C- lais are just going to stay in Vancouver and haunt China town instead.

My guess is they are going to replicate what they have now on the golden ears bridge. Auto tolls through license plate cameras.

Toll cameras will be on the richmond end of the bridge, just like at the Golden Ears...


but a serious F UUUUU to translink. transhit should be privatized. each municipality with its own bus service/co.

c-lai wont go to Chinatown, period.

Parking there needs skills, not to mention finding a spot first.

I think they should put a Toll on Highway 1 instead of those bridges that link Vancouver to Richmond etc etc. Oh and FUCK Translink....

There is going to be a major uproar from Metro Vancouver if Translink does this.

I use the Knight Street Bridge everyday to get to work. And judging by the fact that there is a shit load of traffic at 8AM and 4PM, thousands of people are just like me.

Fuck that shit.

Bullshit... penalizes only a certain portion of the population, and that portion of the population gets it up the butt.

That's what i thought they were planning


what i dont understand (linked in the golden ears bridge thread) is why is only 50% of the toll going to pay for the construction.... it should be 90% to repay construction and 10% for maintenance

and after construction costs are recouped you can lower the price of the toll and split the toll between maintenance and profit
