Obviously I have no idea as to whether it is feasible or not but I am not suggesting that the pipeline should or could be built cheaper or easier if we just stuck it all in the same trench or cutting, I mean dig a second line next to the first, it has to be easier to persuade people who are already living with a pipeline in their back yard
'here's a brown bag full of money, we want to put in a second or third pipeline, no extra risk and a bag full of extra money!!'
As to the route in the lower mainland that is the easiest part, the original pipe already runs through Surrey, just run it to Delta along 60th Ave or so from Sumas, it's almost all agricultural land so far less issues, like I said not suggesting it would be cheaper, my guess is it would cost the same, but a vast terminal on the Georgia Straight in the lower mainland makes more environmental sense, is closer to the customers and is likely an easier sell, they could close Burnaby down as part of the deal
