A National Energy Board ruling Thursday favoured Kinder Morgan Canada’s efforts to bypass Burnaby bylaws to build its Trans Mountain expansion project. The move has many residents outraged, including B.C.’s Environment Minister George Heyman, who said the government will look for ways to fight the decision. The city of Burnaby will also consider an appeal.

The NEB ruled the company is not required to comply with two sections of the city’s bylaws as it prepares to begin construction at the Trans Mountain Burnaby Terminal, Westridge Marine Terminal and at a nearby temporary infrastructure site.
