Vancouver's Anne McEnerny-Ogl  mayor supports  tolls

"Vancouver city council has supported tolling on the bridge for decades and there's two different kinds of tolling the tolling for the bridge will be different than your congestion pricing tolling - two different systems. Vancouver has supported tolling we know as one leg of that three part tolling package -- the federal government- the two states and- the tolling. Its a user fee and its no different than what we had when we had when we started this bridge over a hundred years ago.  So were ready for it.  We'll work with it and the two states actually have worked together - we have tolling as you know on bridges up the Columbia river.”  From https://youtu.be/4WaW5ytZgBk


Vancouver's Anne McEnerny-Ogl  mayor supports light rail

"Great opportunity as you said Ken, for both sides of the river.”

"Were pretty excited that the bridge program has made some decisions in looking forward and the direction for transit is the most exciting part of it bringing light rail over  and stopping get off the bridge and stopping in downtown Vancouver supports a number of our goals and plans. As you know were growing by leaps and bounds over here. And that just gives us another option in our tool box. That integrates with all existing our bus rapid transit system  and it just makes a wonderful step towards our goals for   climate and equity"  From same video:  https://youtu.be/4WaW5ytZgBk
