Three people are in hospital after a serious collision on Lougheed Highway Sunday morning. #bchwy7

Transit will come to Maple Ridge.

But I agree - #BCHwy7 should be 4-laned to Mission.

I can see the value of 4-laning #BCHwy7 - its a good alternate to when something happens on #BCHwy1

But otherwise, definitely! We do need to divest infrastructure dollars from highway projects, larger than 4-lanes, into transit solutions.

Wildfire beside B.C.'s Highway 1 snarls traffic The wildfire is burning ‘out-of-control’ beside Highway 1 between Chilliwack and Hope.
