A new Queensborough Bridge could be back on the table. New Westminster Mayor Daniel Fontaine wants talks with B.C.’s incoming government about replacing, expanding or finding another solution for the aging crossing, which carries nearly 88,000 vehicles per day.

[Kenneth Chan @iamkennethchan]

Daniel Fontaine, New Westminter's first Indigenous mayor, is suggesting the need for a new Queensborough Bridge.

He also wants to make SkyTrain stations safer, as part of his focus on municipal basics.

Everyone running in October suddenly wants to reform Metro Vancouver goverment. Surrey wants a public inquiry. Candidates are signing accountability charters. Even George Harvie, who chaired the Metro board, is vowing change. Imagine what they're hearing at the doors. #bcpoli

Two days ago we celebrated Ernie Punch McLean. Today Punch has passed away. Even at 93 years of age I’m stunned by this news. I’m happy he got to hear how people felt about him on Wednesday at QPA, even though I’m sure he heard it regularly. #RIPPunch 🪽👊🏽

[Farhan Lalji @FarhanLaljiTSN]

Very enjoyable event to kickoff our campaign to honour Ernie “Punch” McLean. Thanks to all the speakers & those who attended. Let’s get this statue approved & made soon!
Thanks to @keywestford for your support.
