•The Province: "There is nothing done so far that is not reversible"
•The Livable Region blog: South Fraser Freeway Will be Stopped
Continue to speak out against the Gateway project: It's not too late, it's not a done deal!!
Here are some reasons (Source: SPEC):
1) There's no money (feds won't contribute) 2) It makes no sense (prohibitive cost) 3) There's no proof it would help 4) There's no support (the GVRD has voted to oppose the project) 5) There's no time -- we need solutions now, to climate change and traffic congestion.
If you're able to distribute flyers for a couple of hours in North Surrey on Sunday, 6 May, it will make a difference. Thanks! - Bonnie
Background: the four Surrey New Democrat seats are the biggest block to New Democrats formally opposing Gateway. Many residents in this area believe the myth that twinning Highway #1 will solve congestion. This is a PRIORITY EDUCATION AREA. All help is greatly appreciated.
