The Gateway Project is the most environmentally threatening highway mega-project in British Columbia's history. It WILL affect our region's air quality and hasten global climate change. And it WON'T reduce traffic congestion.

Check out the MAP of the proposed Highway Expansion, and find out more about Gateway HERE.

• It will worsen the global climate crisis. Automobiles are the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in our region. Double the roads = double the cars = double the pollution.
• It WON'T relieve traffic congestion. After five to six years of traffic-jamming construction, PM2 + Hwy 1 Expansion will, may offer some ease of traffic flow for up to five years. Inevitably traffic will return to, and then exceed, current levels of congestion. Communities will be forced to become even more car-dependent.
• It will suck $4.5 billion from the regional transportation system. This means that Surrey and other outlying regions will not get the rapid transit, bus services, and other desperately-needed transportation solutions for a long, long time.

Smart cities are now recognizing errors of the past, cancelling highway-building plans, and simply tearing freeways down...These include Milwaukee,  Seoul,  Toronto, Bogata, Chenzhen, and even Los Angeles.

The Livable Region Coalition has formulated a proposal which, for a mere $300-$500 million, would reduce traffic congestion and move more people more efficiently, cleanly and  comfortably, than Gateway's $7 billion plan.

The real agenda driving Gateway is industry pressure to increase international trade – in particular, with China, which has minimal environmental or human rights regulations.
