Here's how to fix Pattullo Bridge traffic woes

Dear Editor: A relatively simple fix, in my opinion, to the increase of traffic on Pattullo Bridge as a result of vehicle traffic avoiding the toll on the new Port Mann is to toll all of the bridges in the GVRD.

Dear Editor:

A relatively simple fix, in my opinion, to the increase of traffic on Pattullo Bridge as a result of vehicle traffic avoiding the toll on the new Port Mann is to toll all of the bridges in the GVRD.

Lower the fee to something that drivers are not averse to paying, like $1.50, then people will use the new bridge because they have no other option to avoid paying.

And on a wider scale, this new bridge will get paid for a lot sooner. Once it has paid for itself, remove the tolls.

Are you open to a logicalĀ  solution, Transportation Minister Todd Stone ?
