Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper was in Vancouver today, announcing the federal government will chip in nearly $50 million to help improve road and rail traffic heading in and out of the Port of Vancouver. The $124 million dollar project includes two overpasses to help eliminate bottlenecks created at 11 road and rail crossings in the area. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson says the move has been a long time coming. He also says as we emerge from the recession, it will be more important than ever to continue to invest in the Asia-Pacific Gateway.
