The beginning of the end for the Gateway freeway megaproject: NFPR Defeated

See video

The Gateway freeway megaproject suffered a major defeat on May 19, 2011 when intense opposition from New Westminster residents led to the cancellation of the North Fraser Perimeter Road (NFPR) which would have cost in the neighbourhood of $1 billion. This short video shows the surprise announcement. The next major target for freeway fighters is the South Fraser Perimeter Road freeway (SFPR).
