On April 11, from 11:00am to 1:00pm, we will make history, holding banners for two hours atop Highway 1 overpasses throughout the Lower Mainland, from Chilliwack in the east to Eagleridge Bluffs in West Vancouver, in support of passenger rail and in opposition to our governmentA?ai??i??ai???s current single-minded Gateway agenda of road-building and 2nd-class transit for the South of Fraser.
*To sign up to take part in this important action, please send an email to railforthevalley@gmail.com*
We need to be very organized to pull this off, so
& let me know your overpass preference, and whether you can make a sign or a banner.

Instead of twinning the Port Mann Bridge, the province intends to tear it down and build an all-new 10-lane span.
UBC professor Patrick Condon estimates 200 kilometres of light rail can be built for the cost of rebuilding the Port Mann Bridge and widening Highway 1.
