Even if a new bridge is built, semis are still going to take up two lanes when going over the bridge.

Yes, Syncro, that’s the one. The truck traffic will always be a fact. Like I said, New West is the armpit of the lower mainland. Unless there is some forward thinking on the part of New West, the GVRD and the province it will remain that way.

New West used to have the BC pen which closed in i believe the 70's so people with family who were inmates would move there to be close so I was told maybe some sketchier people ?

New West must realize they are not located in a fringe area. They are located smack-dab in the middle of it. If they were willing to play ball with other stakeholders, perhaps a viable solution would be possible.

Closed 1980. In the late 90’s that property started to be developed. Anytime I worked on that property and Woodlands as well it would give me the heeby jeebies.  New West used to be the capital of BC. You should see the shit we find in the ground around New West.

BC pen, Woodlands, Colony farm, Essondale, from New West out to Poco used to be one big smear of gov facilities and I had done work in all of them. BC pen was a little scary was in there mid 70's, The colony farm for the criminaly insane they would lock me in the elevator to get up to the 3rd floor but you never see anyone, lots of people wandering around essondale where everyone was insane but not dangerous or they would be at the colony farm so take a wrong door and meet crazy people

I bought a new phone recently (the Pixel 7) and I ordered the wrong case I am waiting for a new one to arrive.  Who decided that all new phones need to be made from an easily breakable material with a coefficient of friction approaching zero?  I have witnessed this phone slowly slide off things that you couldn't even see were not level.  I have dry hands and it wants to escape my grip constantly.  If I didn't know better I would swear it was suicidal.  Are people asking for their phones to be made of more glass?  I don't get it.  I want a rubber phone.

How come whenever you drop the garden hose nozzle, the handle hits the ground & sprays up at you?

Ever sit down on the toilet without knowing that the lid AND the seat are both in the up position? It's like you almost fall inside the bowl.
