- Rob's Ramblings: Trucks on the Port Mann
  Posted by RobBaxter from Rbaxter.blogspot
  The recent Vancouver Sun editorial (“Gateway is important for our future economic well-being” March 22nd) repeated the big lie that Highway One expansion is necessary to accommodate truck traffic volumes. In actual fact only 10% of the traffic on the Port Mann bridge is truck traffic. If the other 90% of drivers were given viable public transit options there would be more than enough room for truck traffic on the existing bridge.
