At this point they need to be widened and expanded.<p>What I&#x27;m advocating isn&#x27;t simply a one-off highway and bridge expansion; rather I want the regional development plan scrapped and I want a new one that no longer treats Richmond&#x2F;Delta&#x2F;Surrey as a separate development region. Rather than fighting and antagonizing families who want to live south of the Fraser, we should try to integrate Delta and Surrey more completely with Vancouver and Burquitlam. Highways to bring people to their jobs in Vancouver, yes; but also a focus on encouraging businesses, perhaps through preferential taxes, to locate in Delta and Surrey. We should be planning, zoning, and developing to minimize the presence of the Fraser. That would include more bridges, but it would also include more mass transit.<p>And if we need to pay for this somehow, I can&#x27;t think of a better way than a non-linear property tax on everyone west of Cambie. ;-)
