Keep the Evergreen light rail!
One of our Get Moving BC members, Mike McBratney sent me the following post. He makes excellent points:There is a movement afoot to switch the planned Evergreen line from light rail technology – as originally approved in principle by the TransLink Board in October 2004 – to SkyTrain technology instead.
I see no reason for this switch. Tranlink's light rail plan for the Evergreen line is well thought out and it has been thoroughly consulted on.
It's time for the Province to fully fund the Evergreen line and get the project under way. It's time to get moving on this project.
I agree that light rail is the way to go--and that the Evergreen line should be fully funded by Victoria.

Here, here! I fully agree, let's get this thing built!
I recently heard that the Evergreen line has been delayed which, in my opinion, is ridiculous. How can we delay something as important as mass transit for an area as populated as the Tri-Cities and beyond? It's time to give people an option to get around other than driving.
