Commuters travelling between West Vancouver and downtown were told to expect delays Wednesday morning as a protest temporarily blocked traffic on a major crossing.
Members of Save Old Growth said they blocked lanes on the Lions Gate Bridge with a parked car shortly after 7:30 a.m.
It appeared a someone threw keys that may have been from the parked vehicle off the bridge. Two people at the scene were detained by police. By about 8:10 a.m., most of the protest had been cleared, but drivers were still warned to expect continued delays and congestion. The international Simon Fraser University student has been arrested 10 times at various climate-related protests since 2020. And on Feb. 15, he was sentenced to two weeks in jail for criminal contempt of court after violating an injunction involving the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.
