The City of Richmond has hit a dead-end trying convince the federal government to put the brakes on the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project.
Mayor Malcolm Brodie last week received a letter from Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna informing Richmond the $3.5-billion bridge won’t be subject to a federal environmental panel review, something the city as well as Metro Vancouver had requested last year.
The minister informed the Richmond mayor that B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure was not required to submit a project description to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency for consideration, something provincial Transportation Minister Todd Stone has maintained all along.
