With consideration of buying new ferries underway, attention should pivot to a toll bridge to Gibsons
Vancouver Sun Informed Opinion
Also, there was no consideration for a bridge toll and even $10 or $20 each way would be cheaper than using the ferry. And it would be available 24 hours every day. If the former study had been approved, it would have given us a bridge by 2023. This development would then encourage road upgrades through to Edgmont and may even bring in some new senior staff to the regional district to develop a permanent long term solution to our water supply rather than the current Band-Aid approach of wells and water meters.
Note that the utility talks about “more than 750,000 people were in the dark.” Note there is no mention of how they would be freezing during the recent cold snap if they were depending on a heat pump to keep their homes warm. Sadly, still only thinking about keeping the lights on.
