Rare good news 🙂 #BC has paused the $162M Malahat highway expansion near #Goldstream after years of protest by #W̱SÁNEĆ elder Carl Olsen, citing risks to #salmon, the stream, and #forest.

Ensembles settling on a week + of at times wintry weather for the lower mainland #YVR beginning on the weekend. Alpine snowpack the biggest beneficiary as mean atmospheric temperatures hover daily at lower levels right at the rain-snow borderline. If you took the snow tires off, put 'em back on :)

The B.C. government says it’s shelving its plan to widen the Malahat highway near Goldstream Park and install a median barrier as it awaits further reviews of potential environmental impacts.

No surprise the Malahat Goldstream median project has been Cancelled. 1) Govt has no money 2) Everyone hated the plan, but for different reasons. Some hated that it was not 4 lanes and others hated the environmental impact.

Dense fog, along with rain can be expected throughout the Malahat. Fog is notorious in higher elevation terrrains & off coastal communities like Sooke, Jordan River & Port Renfrew. Drive with extra care & arrive safely to your destination.
