Everyday Semi trucks cross over the Pattullo Bridge when they do so they take up two lanes of traffic. This was not the case five years ago. They are typically going slower than the traffic behind them or in front for that matter. If these trucks cannot be driven over this bridge using the single lane in a safe manner they should not be on the bridge at all. This situation is only going to get worse with the advent of tolls on the Portmann Bridge, these drivers will undoubtedly use the Pattullo as a way of avoiding tolls creating even further congestion by taking up two lanes of traffic. The time is now to take action.

I have been travelling the Pattullo for four years and it is at it's worst. Having spent an hour and a half stuck on it yesterday because of a stalled semi and a semi that tried to get by it with out success blocked both south bound lanes, needless to say it was beyond frustrating. In the morning travelling across the bridge they are nothing but a hazard, every fifth vehicle is a semi. At the very least the hours the trucks can cross the bridge should be limited to outside rush hour hours. I would love to see the goal met on the signatures for this petition.

Translink should look at keeping the existing Pattullo Bridge and dedicating its use for car and cyclist use only. A new bridge should be constructed to the Braid industrial area to feed into the existing road structure joining Brunett and United Boulevard

The situation is indeed dangerous, and worsening by the day. I have been taking the Pattullo for over a year now, and the amount of dangerous conduct by the trucks, AND the drivers they anger, is definitely the most I have seen. I favour an alternate crossing for the commercial vehicles into the industrial area.
