“The ideal thing is four
lanes, but no one accept the
Squamish Nations say they will

Councillors Bob Fearnley
and Barbara Perrault also
wanted a four-lane bridge with
no tolls,

Fearnley said he felt he was
being led around by the gov-
ernment and said that he did-
n’t “want to play this game,”

Perrault agreed. She said
that the “provincial govern-
ment’s mind is made up.”

Dean is also upset that
North Shore residents might
have to pay tolls when “we've
helped (through) our taxes to
pay for bridges” all over the
Lower Mainland.

Council ended up without
consensus on what option to
take in fixing the ailing Lions
Gate Bridge.
