Am only on Facebook to follow family and friends but saw a post by the Port of Vancouver about a proposed vehicle overpass in Burnaby. The CN trains stop traffic a number of times a day at a crossing and it creates traffic jams. They present their proposal in the happiest of terms as a benefit to the commuter.
When you look at the map for the proposal you do see another aspect that isn’t mentioned, that closing that crossing will give the railway the ability to build another track and stage their trains for delivery to the North Shore. Great benefit for CN as they have done this last year with the tracks at the Sperling bike/pedestrian overpass.
When I posted that possibility, from seeing the map, some individual starts the diatribe about who cares about that. You quickly realize why you don’t need to comment on anything given this level of discussion.
