Tillikum Crossing or Bridge

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilikum_Crossing , https://trimet.org/tilikum Its not just a bus and bike bridge.

The Oregon version of the Tilikum is so much better than any BC version, but it doesn't have to be.

Of course the Victoria, BC (Saanich) version will be watered down.

A Burnaby and Richmond Tillicum Bus and Bike bridge would be a great transportation link.

There isn't even a South+Boundary+Rd bus and bike bridge in the works. Yet, the transportation planners claim that an efficient regional express and BRT network can be established. Its just another watered down BC joke.
