This is my take on the feverish debate on the Columbia River Crossing between Portland and Vancouver, inspired from the mornings commute over"Arctic Blast" which snarled traffic and forced me home from work. Never mind the fact that I cannot commute via bus or rail without investing two hours in the morning. Us Vancouverites need to get with the 21st century and do our part to build a larger, cleaner and sustainability oriented bridge with light rail and adequate foot/bicycle passage between our two cities. This old antiquated bridge is hampering growth and quality of life in this city. Unfortunately, the Vancouver citizenry has the foresight of a mole and has rejected such forward-looking measures.
