A great rally - great speakers, motivation and captivation DEATH to GATEWAY

[spiritedguy]

For me the mood inside the hall was like the trial setting in the classic movie, To Kill A Mockingbird. Today its a Falcon.

There was a certain aroma of truth and justice being served in that meeting, the walls and balconeys filled with hope and anticipation, speakers fueled and inspired by love justice and truth. All the elements for a classic battle of good vs evil are in play, now it is time for the troops to carry the war cry to a victorious finale. Shout for your victory is at hand.

90% of BC is stuck with 2 lane highways when other places have 3 or 4 lanes, bc's growing like crazy and we need bigger highways so we dont have hour long traffic jams. its like everyone at the rally doesn't even have a car?

i get stuck in traffic jams all over the lower mainland and i think, wtf were these engineers thinking? they should get people like truck drivers to help plan this because they spend most of there time on the road. way more then engineers.

The SFPR is a poorly planned road that doesn't use the existing hwy 99 and hwy10 to reach it's goals, which is connecting the deltaport to hwy 15.

it would be SO much easier, without encroaching on Burns bog or forcing people from there homes.

Gateway can't come soon enough! Our economy doesn't deserve to be held hostage to 1950's infrastructure - the stakes are too high.

And do any Gateway-haters actually USE highway 1 and the Port Mann? If you actually do, you'll see how desperatley they need expanding. Enough with this childish ideological opposition.

Because SFPR is going right through farmland along the edge of Burns Bog. Do some research and the story comes together.

i am undecided about if the gateway project should go ahead. i spent 15 years 2 minutes from hwy 10 ladner trunk road as my means of transportation to ND/surrey, DT ladner/tsawwassen and vancouver. i am in favor of change in enviromental policy, but at this point i beleive the answer to enviromental problems will not be solved by reduction in roads. i have yet to hear why the project is harmful to aggriculture . this video does not display both sides of the story - i am unconvinced as of yet.
