North Van mayor wants to talk about taking SkyTrain to North Shore
City of North Vancouver Mayor Darrell Mussatto believes it time to consider building a tunnel under Burrard Inlet and extend rapid transit to the already traffic choked North Shore.
North Shore is under gridlock pretty much now and replica Van Cleef & Arpels Clover Necklace white diamond we not even growing, Mussatto told Postmedia News.
The region bridges have the same nine lanes worth of traffic coming in and out of North and West Vancouver that they did in 1960, Mussatto said. Yet the region has absorbed 57 years worth of growth, more commuter traffic to the region and increasing amounts of traffic to and from Squamish and Whistler.
got to expect something has to give, and we feeling it, Mussatto said.
The North Vancouver mayor said he has talked to TransLink CEO Kevin Desmond about doing a level feasibility study to see whether it would make sense to replace the SeaBus with a fixed link crossing between Waterfront Station and Lonsdale Quay.
He said it could be either an extension of the Canada Line or the Millennium and Expo Lines through a bored tunnel, or perhaps a cut and cover option where a route is trenched into the inlet bottom and pre cast sections of concrete are sunk into it.
Or the Metro Vancouver region might consider other options such as an above surface crossing with one of the bridges.
Mussatto said it has to be a longer term consideration after TransLink existing priorities of the Broadway SkyTrain extension and Surrey light rail projects are looked after.
talking about eight, 10 years out, but we need to have those discussions, Mussatto said.
TransLink spokeswoman Jill Drews said TransLink doesn have immediate plans to study a North Shore link, but it would have an opportunity to start discussions with the update of its 30 year regional transportation strategy, which is supposed to happen later this year.
The idea of tunnelling under Burrard Inlet isn new. Plans in the 1950s and 1960s van cleef necklace imitation for Vancouver freeways included proposals for a tunnel under the First Narrows near the Lion Gate Bridge. professor Erik Eberhardt.
long tunnel, a few kilometres long, today would be in the $1 billion range, Eberhardt said. any discussion of cost should be balanced against value, in terms of how it improves the livability of the region.
The challenges, Eberhardt said, would be the geology and geography on either side of the Burrard Inlet. A feasibility study would have to determine how deep a tunnel would have to go down to get to bedrock or soils firm enough to carry a tunnel.
He said builders might have to overcome steep declines to get to depth, but a feasibility study might be helped by the engineering work being done for Metro Vancouver $380 million project to take water mains along the bottom of Burrard Inlet. epaper, Digital Access, Subscriber Rewards), please input your Print Newspaper subscription phone number and postal code.

Naxal attack causes train collision
At least 120 passengers are feared killed and 160 injured after suspected Maoistsderailed 13 coaches of Mumbai bound Gyaneshwari Expressleading to a collision with a goods train in West Midnapore district early on Friday.
Investigating officials have ruled out blast as the cause for theaccident in West Midnapore on Friday. It is confirmed that the derailment was not due to a blast, they said.
According to preliminary investigations,fishplates had been unbolted in a section of the track that may have led to the derailment. The correspondent also found the railway track was dug as deep as two feet at one part.
A fishplate is a metal or wooden plate bolted to the sides of two abutting rails.
At least 160 others are feared to be trapped inside the crashed bogies, sources replica van cleef necklace said.
Union Railways Minister Mamata Banerjee, who rushed to the site around 6 am, said she had been told that an explosion on the tracks had caused the derailment.
"We fear this is a Maoist attack," Banerjee said.
"The railways are a soft target The Maoists have attacked the railway in the past and, it seems, even now," she said.
However, railway officials said a section of the rail had been removed.
West Bengal Relief Minister Mortaja Hussain said hundreds of people are feared trapped in the train, which was heading to Mumbai from Kolkata.
Though the railway ministry had earlier assured that pilot cars would guide passenger trains travelling through Maoist infested areas, reports said there was none on Thursday night.
The incident occurred around 1.30 am on Friday in West Midnapore a Maoist stronghold about 135 km west of Kolkata.
The Maoists had declared four day bandh in and around the area where the accident occurred.
However, they are yet to claim responsibility for the alleged attack. Maoist posters have been found at the site.
Indian Air Force helicopters have been pressed into service at the accident spot and have airlifted some of the injured to hospitals. The Border Security Force disaster management team is also on its way to the site.
Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee, who is at the accident spot, said that the blast which caused the express train to derail took place on the first day today of a four day 'Black week' called by the Maoists.
Banerjee said that a patrol engine had passed through the area half an hour earlier, but the timing of the blast proved disastrous with a portion of the line being blown away.
She announced Rs 5 lakh for the next of kin of each of the dead and Rs 1 lakh for the injured.
This is the second Maoist attack on civilians this month. Naxals had blown up a civilian bus in Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh on May 17, killing at least 36 people, including 12 Special Police Officers.
South Eastern Railway Public Relations Officer Soumitra Majumdar said the train had 24 coaches. After the explosion, 13 including 10 sleeper coaches, derailed of which five were hit by the goods train coming on the opposite track.
An unreserved coach, the pantry car and luggage van also derailed, he said.
Relief officials used gas cutters Van Cleef & Arpels Replica Necklace to extricate trapped passengers and bodies from the mangled remains of the affected coaches. Passengers' belongings lay strewn scattered on the tracks.
Angry passengers said the first signs of relief came only around 5 am, three and a half hours after the incident.
Nine of the coaches which were not damaged in the blast took the injured and the other passengers to Kharagpur where they were admitted to hospital.
Anti Maoist forces were at the spot and assisting the police and rescue personnel in extricating the bodies from four badly damaged sleeper coaches S 5, S 6, S 7 and S 8.
West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadev Bhattacharjee has asked state Finance Minister Asim Dasgupta to immediately rush to Sardiha, the site of replica necklace van cleef the accident.
"I have been asked by the chief minister to rush to the accident site with six special rescue teams and three mobile ambulances," Dasgupta said before leaving for the accident spot on Friday morning.

No National Rollout Of 'Go Home' Migrant Vans
The policy will not be rolled out nationwide, following a storm of criticism after it was piloted in six London boroughs this summer.
Posters on the side of vans asked: "In the UK illegally? Go home or face arrest" and showed a pair of handcuffs and an official with a Home Office badge.
The advertising watchdog recently ruled that the arrest statistics cited were misleading, but rejected complaints that the posters were offensive or racist.
The pilot cost and its critics included the coalition's Van Cleef & Arpels Clover Necklace fake own Business Secretary Vince Cable, who called it "stupid and offensive".
Tory Immigration Minister Mark Harper said only last week that the approach could be adopted nationwide if it was effective.
But the Home Office now says they will be no extension after an initial evaluation showed unconvincing results.
Home Secretary Theresa May confirmed the move during a Commons debate on the coalition's flagship plans to tighten the immigration system.
"We Van Cleef & Arpels White Mother-Of-Pearl necklace fake won't be rolling out the vans, they were too much of a blunt instrument," she told MPs, while also attacking Labour's lack of action when it was in power.
Lib Dem party president Tim Farron branded the policy a "cheap political stunt" as he welcomed the move to scrap it.
"The vans represented the worst kind of divisive politics and it seems only one immigrant went home because of them," he said.
"This is a failed project and the Home Office should hold their hands up and admit it was wrong both practically and morally.
"It is important that our borders are protected and secure but this policy driving a van around some of the most diverse communities in London is not the way to deliver that."
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper branded the vans a "pointless gimmick" and a complete failure that was beneath Mrs May and "ought to be beneath this Government".
"You signed this policy off, you defended it, all for the sake of one person returning. You should be better than that. I hope you are ashamed of what you did," she said.
The Opposition is tabling a string of amendments during the Immigration Bill debate as it argues it does nothing to tackle border control or the exploitation of foreign workers.
Under the coalition's crackdown, which forms the centrepiece of its legislative programme this year, illegal immigrants will be stopping from opening bank accounts.
Banks, employers and landlords will also have to check people's status and the rights of appeal for illegal immigrants and foreign prisoners will be slashed.
Temporary residents will also have to pay an annual levy to fund NHS treatment in an attempt to tackle the costs of so called "health tourism".
The Opposition is trying to regain the initiative on what is a top public concern by tabling a package of measures designed to limit immigration from within the EU.
Freedom of movement rules in Europe mean it is impossible to stop migrants coming to the UK to work but Labour wants to tighten the rules to stop Britons being penalised.
It claims its proposals are the "first serious attempt by any party" to deal with the problems fake Van Cleef & Arpels Malachite necklace caused by EU migration, which are among voters' top concerns.

40 watches and he's still late
"But man, you'll really love this not one of them has the right time.
"Not one! I'm serious. I have to ask someone if I want to know what time it is. To me they're like trinkets. I wear them as such."
Even so, Usher insists, "I didn't start collecting watches just to show that I'd arrived. The first love ring CARTIER copy ones I got were ones I received as gifts. Before I knew it, they just became a passion.

Usher Raymond, 29, is one of the biggest R superstars of all time with album sales of over 30 million worldwide
"The very first one I got was a baby Cartier Santos from (producer) Jermaine Dupri. It was after I had a No 1 with You Make Me Wanna in
1997. It was all metal with no diamonds. Over time I got into makes such as Breitling and Rolex.
"Actually, Rolex was the first make I went to, because it represented success. You get a Rolex, put diamonds in it and you're balling," he says, which one can assume is generally a good thing.
"But to be honest with you, I primarily stay away from diamonds. Occasionally it's cool to give your timepiece a little flash and wear something with diamonds in it, but I don't like it and I don't need it. I get more value in a watch's weight."
That he's not overly keen on diamonds is something Usher should probably have told his friend Damon Dash, since a few years ago Dash's luxury watch company Tiret designed a watch for Usher featuring his own face made up of an astonishing 1,106 of them.
The timepiece, estimated to be worth around 1 million, was briefly displayed at London's Natural History Museum, but now nestles with Usher's other watches in his jewellery drawer at his home near Atlanta, Georgia.
"It's a one of a kind piece," he admits coolly, "and though it didn't cost 1 million, I'll probably be auctioning it one day for that.
'In New York, everything was available drugs, women,' says Usher
"Damon came to me with the concept, and the picture of me was taken from the album cover of Confessions. It was an amazing gift and, believe it or not, I've even worn it out a few times.
"I'm always trying to get my wife Tameka to wear it, but she refuses because I let another girl wear it once. though we won't get into that," he adds quickly.
Today, Usher Raymond is running late, very late a delicious irony considering he collects watches as a hobby.
But then when you're one of the biggest selling R superstars of all time, unexplained tardiness is one of the unspoken perks of the job.
He has arrived at LA's opulent Beverly Wilshire hotel accompanied by the customary army of stylists, hair and make up artists, publicists and security guards.
His baby face features suggest a man much younger than his 29 years, but don't be fooled: having been taken under the love ring CARTIER high wing of P Diddy, no less, as a mere 15 year old, there is nothing childlike about him.
When he sweeps into a room, he silently sheds members of his retinue and sizes it up without making eye contact with anyone. It's a masterful display of modern superstardom. It spawned hits such as Yeah, Burn and Confessions Part II, which simultaneously made the Top Ten singles chart a feat achieved only twice before, by the Beatles and the Bee Gees.
High on the magnitude of love ring A A CARTIER such success, Usher was given to utterances such as, "There were four Beatles and three Bee Gees, but there is only one Usher", and reminded of his remarks today, he can only grin semi bashfully.
"I did say that, didn't I?" he says, nodding his head slowly.
"But I stand by that, in the best possible way. All those people made music that was a sign of the times with a meaningful message, and I want people to be inspired by my music in the same way."
As a people, we expect certain things from our R stars self aggrandisement, ostentatiousness and a healthy love of bling and in Usher, we are truly blessed.
Worth an estimated 50 million, he makes no secret of the fact that he loves the finer things in life. His home contains four rooms dedicated just to clothing, and he owns a staggering 4,000 pairs of shoes. Not to mention his extraordinary collection of watches.
While Tameka Raymond, Usher's wife of nine months, may feel shy about wearing his most expensive bauble, it was she who inadvertently encouraged his watch obsession.
"But man, you'll really love this not one of them has the right time.
"Not one! I'm serious. I have to ask someone if I want to know what time it is. To me they're like trinkets. I wear them as such."
