If they are going to Toll Us, atleast spend some of the money and fix the never ending Potholes that I have to swerve and avoid daily.

I wouldn't mind if they fixed the fucking potholes.
I mean, how much does it cost to fit a hole?
2 service workers, some asphalt, and a section of a lane closed for a day.
Bumps, not dips!
I think we should all just go out and attack the potholes with asphalt.

this is great news, only because I live in surrey and they wanna toll the port mann. They should just toll every bridge and once they get enough money then take the tolls off at the same time. That way everyone get fucked up the ass and not just a certain city. Gotta love translink huh?

How the fuck do they redo the highway on a road that leads to a resort town mainly used by tourists and people with vacation homes and not put a toll on it? They then toll bridges that people use everyday in there commute because they cost to much money to improve/maintain? Tolling Granville & Port Mann bridges well not tolling the Sea to Sky totally blows my mind.

There really is no alternative for the sea to sky highway unless you want to travel 8 hours to go all the way around.

Anyone taken the ferry lately? The fares are redonkulous.
The whole reasoning behind the latest tolls is to pay for the infrastructure and remove them once paid off right? I'm just asking the question why toll so selectively? Most of you don't think the sea to sky should be tolled before anything used a ton in the city? Punish the majority and let the majority front the money for the minority? That's fine, it's not really my stance but the people in power seem to think along the same lines so what do I know?

i pay around $250 a month on gas including weekends plus weekdays commute. Now after taking sky shit it cuts down to about $150 a month. But paying roughly $100 for their shitty ass fucking service is a joke, at the end of the day i dont save a penny. Funny

there's a reason why cheap imported products sell so well in this country and others.
