Letters: Bridges needed to move goods in Richmond

Dear Editor, Re: “Rebuild Fraser Street Bridge,” Letters , Nov. 21. I used the Fraser Street Bridge more so than the Oak Street Bridge as an attractive solution to the then-congested Oak Street Bridge.

Dear Editor,

Re: “Rebuild Fraser Street Bridge,” Letters, Nov. 21.

I used the Fraser Street Bridge more so than the Oak Street Bridge as an attractive solution to the then-congested Oak Street Bridge.

Frankly, it makes sense to restore that connection.

But let’s not stop there.

Vancouver/Burnaby’s Boundary Road needs connections to Richmond and an overpass over Highway 91 already is aligned.

So, two low-profile bridges could make a world of difference for the movement of commerce over the north Fraser.
