Four lanes or 6? MLA comments reignite Pattullo Bridge debate

  • B.C.'s Conservative transportation critic Harman Bhangu criticized the plan for a four-lane Pattullo Bridge, advocating instead for a six-lane design due to safety concerns when inexperienced truckers cross the bridge.
  • New Westminster residents oppose six lanes due to traffic routing challenges, while Surrey's residents and Mayor Brenda Locke support the six-lane option, calling for better design.
  • Transportation Minister Mike Farnworth stated that significant work would be needed for six lanes in New Westminster, but affirmed that the new bridge is secure and wider than its predecessor, despite Bhangu's criticism of its design.
  • Bhangu raised concerns about funding and management of multiple transportation projects, while Farnworth argued that there is a need for more infrastructure development in the region.
