"The South Fraser Perimeter Road (SFPR) is going to build a bridge over my house — no joke! My house is on River Road in North Delta, in a splendid ravine with a fish-bearing stream running through it. Herons, coyotes, beaver and owls live here now. If the SFPR goes through, my home and this ravine will be destroyed by a four-lane truck highway."

"The provincial government has built a highway right through the organic blueberry fields that our family has cultivated for over 30 years. We must protect our agricultural lands; once the “gateway” has been opened, there is no going back."

"Here’s a question I always ask when attending a transportation conference or forum: Can anyone give me an example ­– just one –­ of a place in North America that has successfully addressed congestion by building more roads and bridges, and that we in Metro Vancouver should be more like? I’m still waiting..."

"If we invest our money in smart urban planning and transit infrastructure, we can make our cities south of the Fraser more independent and livable instead of making them a route for a highway to pass through. The proposed Gateway project will not enhance our long-term local economic stability. Rather, it will simply drive small businesses like mine out of town, choking local traffic while allowing jobs to flow through and out of our region."
