The study will also consider how a rapid-transit system could open up land for affordable housing development.
The province announced Tuesday it would conduct a feasibility study this summer of building a fixed-link rapid transit crossing to the North Shore.
“With this feasibility study, we’re exploring potential solutions that help people move around more easily, which will improve quality of life.” “Over the years, the high cost of housing has forced people to move further from the places they work, resulting in longer commutes and serious traffic issues,” she said.
“Ultimately, we’ve got a finite amount of space. It is water on one side, mountains the other and that will never change,” Holmes told Postmedia on Tuesday.
