Richmond Strikes (Out) Again
Remember as you read the story about Richmond's #3 Road being as big a mess as Cambie Street that those brilliant visionaries at Richmond City Council spent about $80 Million re-designing that central artery only a few years ago.
Now, in their haste to be all great things to all great people - namely their precious selves - Richmond has torn up all their good works and started again.
Question: Whose cousin has the Cement contract?

Look up in the sky, it's a bird, no its a pompous mayor and his band of happy cohorts from Translink. Like you David, I remember when I went to Richmond and saw a road dedicated for the buses. This was quite strange too since dedication of public facilities for the general public to use usually had some hidden aspect to it. Moreover, it was actual infrastructure for our beloved yet highly defective Translink service to use. Sadly it doesn't take much for anyone to see that Translink + Municipal Monkey mayors + public money is equal to some severe magnitude of trouble. And like you said, the once dedicated line on No. 3 way was demolished and turned inside-out before you could say "cat in a hat". I guess their argument for ripping out streamlined segment of road was that they were doing it for the Olympics. Yeah Olympics, well I guess I'm going to go get a colourful inuktuk tattoo on my back because I want to get in the Olympic spirit as well. I guess if we think about, Richmond has some really big pants with very deep pockets. Lets just hope that their skating oval doesn't sink into the ground due to all the Canada Line construction.
