Long waits a ‘defining aspect’ of Vancouver byelection, report finds

 https://globalnews.ca/news/11188313/vancouver-council-byelection-long-waits/

Not properly preparing for the amount of people voting is all part of the multigenerational backwards Vancouver & BC mentality. 

With so many narrow bridges in Greater Vancouver, there should have been a system of bus & HOV bridges built, instead of funneling everything into such narrow crossings. 

Proper long-range urban planning would have allowed for easy future clearance to double the length of the first 2 skytrain stations & triple the length of the Canada (embasesment) Line. The first 2 lines only have about 80m for platform length & the 3rd line only has absurd 50m stations. In contrast, the high capacity Montreal Metro has 152.5m long stations, as does the TTC Subway.

Thinking big & building big has always been a problem for backwards Vancouver & backwater BC.
