ROAD PRICING REQUIRES PUBLIC VOTE: PREMIER JEFF NAGEL
Premier Christy Clark is holding firm to her position that Metro Vancouver mayors will have to win a referendum if they want to add a new funding source for TransLink, including any eventual imposition of road pricing. “I think it’s the right thing to do to ask people,” Clark said after mayors voted last week to urgently study road pricing options, which could someday replace the tolls on some bridges with per-kilometre fees to drive on all major routes. continued on page 4

onto Fraser Highway. The Jeep then jumped a curb and smashed into a bus shelter where a 22-year-old man was sitting on the bench. The man was identified as Surrey’s Evan Archibald at a roadside memorial. “It appears that he was pinned between the vehicle and the bench,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann. Police say Archibald was taken to hospital in critical condition where he succumbed to his injuries. The teen –who police say is a relatively new
driver – remained at the scene and is cooperating with investigators with information about the crash. She sustained minor injuries. Schumann said it is too early in the investigation to determine what caused the collision. He said that intoxicants are not believed to be a factor, but wet road conditions may have contributed to the crash. Police are urging drivers to be more cautious as the fall weather arrives. “Definitely when the roads are wet, people have to take more care,” said Schumann.
