Dear Editor:
Credit and kudos to those members of our city council who are prepared to rethink the Q2Q crossing options in light of recent cost estimates for the bridge. The $39 million recently mentioned in your paper seems much more realistic than some of the figures offered by proponents of the scheme.
The “ferry” option sounds like an option worth pursuing. The docks are there. A short-term lease (two years?) could test the viability and actual usage and demand for this crossing. I suspect the casino might be interested in supporting a link to their area.
I hope all readers, especially taxpayers, will give this some thought, and encourage mayor and council to examine all reasonable alternatives.
Chris Dumfries, New Westminster
