TransLink news notes
The Abbotsford News reports that ridership was up 3% for the first quarter, and up 11.6% on the West Coast Express. Just wait until the Golden Ears Bridge opens: I guarantee many south Fraser residents will use it to get to the WCE. Just another example of how roads and transit work hand-in-hand!Despite TransLink dragging its heel, Port Moody is going ahead with a study on safety deficiencies on Ioco Road, says the Tri-City News. The three-kilometre route links the city to Anmore, Belcarra, and parkland.
The South Delta Leader reports that Vancouver businesses are upset because scrapping the parking tax and going to straight property taxes has raised their TransLink bill. Why shouldn't Vancouver pay more? They have access to the best transit service TransLink provides. They reap the rewards of a transit system than can get their customers and employees to their door. South of the Fraser, that's just a pipe dream.

"...transit service ... South of the Fraser, that's just a ppe dream."
Good point!
Transit service south of the Fraser has long been neglected.
Which is another good reason why we should not waste any money on highway expansion that is not gonig to solve congestion problems. That money needs to go to fund transit improvements.
It is just plain wise use of taxpayers money.
