A sensible span plan

WITH $78 million

’ being thrown at the Lions Gate Bridge, I figure my two cents can’t hurt.

I seem to be in the minor- ity when ir comes to applaud- ing the NDP plan to shore- up that majestic link to the North Shore that is the Lions Gate.

As I’ve mentioned before, I never really liked the idea of a bigger bridge, and certainly

not a third crossing. Bedroom community and all

that. It was, however, pound-

ed into my head that the

Performances at

creaky old Lions Gare needed a major refit.

And here ‘it is. Finaily. A few million dollars later. A few dozen “stake-holder” consuitations later. A few Transportation Ministers later. A few back-peddling, side stepping, spin-doctored politically-motivated battle cries of political incpdtude larer.

Here it is: A safer Lions
