***************************
WHAT IS GATEWAY?
The Gateway Project is a massive highway-expansion project being forced on our region by the BC Government. The Project would include a 3-fold expansion of the Port of Delta, a brand-new eight-lane highway (the South Fraser Perimeter Road) to follow the Fraser and cut a swath through our most fertile farmland and living communities, an expanded Highway 1, twinning of the Port Mann Bridge, and more. This is a multi-billion dollar dinosaur scheme that will not reduce congestion. We need transit, rail, and other solutions -- not more freeways-- NOW!
