Seems to me that I recall that when "Flying" Phil Gaglardi was the Highways 
minister "way back when" the idea came up to extend the then abuilding Trans 
Canada Highway to Victoria via Nanaimo, and since the highway was to be
toll free at the insistance of the Federal government, this meant that there
could be no tolls on the new Second Narrows bridge - and since it would have
no tolls, it made no sense to have them on the Lions Gate - and they were
removed.

The use of the Second Narrows bridge was to get to Horseshoe Bay to the ferries
to Nanaimo. A brilliant piece of strategy!

I also wonder if the new "Mid Island" run from Tsawwassan to Nanaimo could be
one step backwards in this?

Does anyone else remember or have corroborating evidence of this?
