It is long overdue this but a two system skytrain or some Thing will be great one train stops every station and one stops ever 5 or 6 stations and you can jump To one down to go a few back or forward to get close were you want to be. Time is important and if you make two train systems you can make time look the sky train in and around Vancouver sorry to say but it is a slow system it need a second lane what skips a lots off stations so you can make real time. If I can make good time I will go and more will go but if it is slow who care take the car

Sitting in traffic almost daily on the freeway between Chilliwack and Abbotsford has become a normal part of my day. I was recently stopped near the oil pipeline. I thought why doesn’t our government take all that equipment and people and move them right on the highway to speed up the construction after the pipeline is done. They somehow found resources to get the pipeline built in a hurry. Our freeway is terrible people are getting injured or killed almost weekly.

To reduce the # of the cars on the roads, We need some kind of rail line, just like the transit line in metro Vancouver. Why is that the tax dollars collected from the residents in the valley are supporting all the facilities in metro Vancouver? We need help desperately connecting Langley, Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, Aldergrove to the city.

The lower mainland traffic situation is terrible and we are at least 6 to 10 years overdue. Additionally they should be looking at upgrading the Lougheed from Mission to Hope, at least 4 lane. Add another main hwy from white rock parallel to the boarder to at least Sumas way in Abbotsford, but preferable to continue on through Yarrow , upgrading the Keith Wilson bridge and road to 4 lane into Chilliwack. This would alleviate a great deal of pressure on #1 and provide alternate emergency routes out of the lower mainland. If the flooding of the lower mainland taught us anything, its that the highways are not suitable for emergency situations and if there were ever a tsunami or major earthquake in Vancouver, #1 highway would become an instant parking lot of people trying to evacuate. The upgrades to the highways, should be #1 priority with Disaster planning, Public transport and to ensure a reliable path for movement of goods through the lower mainland.

“Extended to Chilliwack”???? Given the rate at which widening is currently happening it’s unlikely to reach Chilliwack before the end of this century. There’s no will to do so within the current anti vehicle ideology.

5 lanes on Hwy 1 is needed now! The timeline needs to be moved up for completion within 1-2 yrs max. 2 lanes on the only highway running Hope to Vancouver, is beyond unacceptable and with continued development into the valley, we need some way to meet the volume demands! There is seldom any time of day that traffic is not bumper to bumper and accident numbers are excelerating as a result! This is a provincial and multiple city failure and marked insufficiency to meet the travel requirements of daily commute for individuals and business at all levels. This planning was needed 5 years ago and no plans were made? This now is a critical priority and needs immediate attention. The government needs to action this as a high priority…

Talk talk talk. Lets get started and widen the road.

Thank you for providing the update on Hwy 1 plans. However, like the Hwy 99 tunnel- bridge- tunnel and maybe bridge again if the NDP are defeated in the next election, a change in government can stall, significantly change ir even cancel plans developed by previous governments. What we need is a mechanism that restricts wholesale changes to established plans, contracts and other commitments made by previous governments. Costly and time wasting. Enough said!

Lovely! Sure hope it does the trick.

Well I am 72 now will likely be dead before all these road improvements are completed.
