The arrests were made, and the bulldozers are moving. It doesn't change the fact that building this stretch of highway overland instead of through a tunnel was a bad idea. Kevin Potvin, publisher of a local bi-weekly, The Republic, has come up with a good analysis of the situation, and a solution: Oops, they did it again. Excerpt: "The overland route through Eagleridge Bluffs is the wrong plan for improving access to Whistler from Vancouver in time for the Olympics regardless of the fact that it’s surrounded by residents of the richest postal code in the country. The inconsequential fact about how this is rich people’s backyards has gotten much more play in the press than any other fact surrounding the issue, including the more salient fact that the Bluffs, though relatively unknown among the Lower Mainland’s many natural-beauty-endowed amenities, is a jewel."
