Arterial Flow

Location: 208th Street Overpass, Langley B.C.


Time of Year: April 8th, 2009; Spring


Other Info: Shot this at night, obviously, while the RCMP were flying around behind me in their cars and above me with their helicopter. I'm thinking I wasn't the target but it did cross my mind that my being in the area would arouse suspicion but maybe dressing up like a Christmas tree and stockings, green sweat shirt and red knee socks, calmed the minds of the RCMP.
So this is a shot of Hwy 1 the main route, practically the only route, into Vancouver. For most of the day this route is a congested/clogged artery which is the cause of many headaches. There are plans to upgrade the transportation infrastructure which include widening the highway, new bridges with higher capacity, bus lanes to allow for easier flow of people. Obviously these changes have been met with opposition those who say, "it will cause more congestion". But thinking from the point of view of that this plan is not meant to be the end all solution but is to provide transportation options which allow for an easier flow of people from the suburbs to the City. As the population grows does the number of vehicles and it is necessary to provide options, feasible ones, that allow the movement of people whether it be in there cars or on public transit.
