November 4, 2005 – The Provincial Liberal government is hard at work right now hashing out the “Gateway Project” …an evil scheme to twin the Port Mann Bridge and expand Highway #1 by two lanes, which will terminate at the 3 exits onto Victoria Drive… dumping thousands more cars every day into East Van.

Libby Davies (federal NDP MP), Shane Simpson (East Van’s NDP MLA), and in fact most GVRD municipalities are openly opposed to the Gateway Project. The Gateway Project represents old-school planning at it’s most backward. We must speak up now and tell the Province that, yes, our city has a traffic problem. TOO MANY CARS!

Please, come out and show the city, the province, and the media that East Van is for people, not cars!

Guest speakers:

Citizens Concerned with Highway Expansion
David Chudnovsky, MLA for Vancouver Kensington and NDP Transportation Critic
Shane Simpson, MLA for Vancouver Hastings and NDP Environment Critic

Admission is free.

When: Saturday, November 5, 2005, 1-3pm
