“ADVISE well before you begin, and when you have

} raatarcy considered, thei) act with promptitude” — Sa//rst.

According to our survey, it woul seem that a narrow margin

of residents agree with the government’s proposal to put tolls

on the Lions Gate Pridge. But an on-the-street survey painted

a different picture: of'a publi: unwilling to consider tolls, and

inguiring many against the notion of refurbishing the aging span at all.
reporter What is so "nique about No;th and Wes Vancouver, that we
are for tolls while other municigalities receive capital
projects without having to pay their tithe po the ferryman? Some feel drivers should be the
ones footing the bill, and hope toils will hdp people to carpool or use transit.
We asked you: “Do you agree with a tull on the Lions Gate to help with renovation costs?”

1 don’t think it’s a viable solv-

think the repairs are unfore-

No, I disagree. 1 think from all
I’ve read I'd pay for someone to
build a tunnel. It'd be {asa
pedestrian/hicycling bridge. 1
think the government is playing
the old “see no evil, hear no evil,
Pll do what I want anyways”.

many other bridges that don’t "=~
have tolls, so for that reason I:
say no. I think they should put
a tunnel in. And they should _.
