Editor:
I read with some amusement the letters about a road to Squamish or bridges to Horseshoe Bay (Coast Reporter, Oct. 12). Can you imagine driving to Squamish on a snowy, winter night - or the cost of building a bridge across the ocean and then driving the other side all the way to Gibsons?
The writer wrote about there being a logging road. Can you imagine the costs of building over that mountainous terrain? It just boggles the mind to think what the cost would be.
Just look at what the Port Mann Bridge cost to build. All that expense for the small population we have over here. I don't see a great population growth in the near future, so why do we even think of roads or bridges? We will only hope that B.C. Ferries can find a way to keep costs down.
