Knee jerk reaction to an isolated incident.

RIP to those involved, but get some long standing data to back up your motions. The late night closure works well for the Patullo bridge because it is 4 lanes squeezed into probably the same width as Lions Gate's 3 lanes. The Patullo had ongoing safety issues with the onramps, offramps, and the bridge deck itself. The Lion's Gate for all intents and purposes is safe and fine as it is.

Closing the middle lane because it tempts people to speed down it when there is no traffic? Can that even happen with all the left lane hoggers around nowadays? If you want to solve the problem set up a speed trap at the end of the bridge and make some money off of these speeders, like the Surrey end of the Patullo where its painstakingly hard to be driving at 50km/h.
