GEOGRAPHIES OF METRO VANCOUVER 4
faced by the region. Nearly, 7 out of 10 individuals are seen to complain that traffic is poor and
needs immense improvement (dailyhive.com, 2018). Metro Vancouver is under immense
pressure in regards to affordability. As pointed out by Rydergren et al. (2018), strong
transportation system can help in enhancing the scope related to mobility.
In similar regards, it can be observed that 62% of citizens in transit vote rejected
50% increase within the regional sales tax for supporting the Council plan provided by the
Mayor (dailyhive.com, 2018). If the plan had been successful, then the plan can successfully
generate $2.5 billion in a decade that covers translink and even the traditional municipal
government’s transit investments. Under the mentioned model, the federal and even provincial
governments can reach the responsibility of making Vancouver a place with easy modes of
transportation.
Metro Vancouver is subjected to confront urgent and growing needs of
transportation on a large scale. Traffic congestion is seen to grow with quality of the air
degrading at every step. The declining quality of life coupled with urban sprawl is seen to
increase that in return can threat the level of competitiveness. Continuous under investing in
regional transportation system are seen to grow. In order to address the gaps in the transport
system investments are made in building “Golden Ears and Port Mann Bridges”, “Canada and
Evergreen Lines” and even the Translink. As pointed out by Waters (2017), translink is seen to
have broad responsibility for the local transportation system but lacks power in regards to proper
investment or even management. Demands abound for larger investment in regards to public
transits. Governance, organizational and even structural problems are seen to confront TransLink
in current state and their ability to deal with planning at regional level
