It's also slated for removal (at least the upper viaduct), a very large park is meant to be built in its place (the architects that designed the High Line park in NYC were going to be designing the project, at least as of 3 years ago).

Yup, and coincidentally there's basically no plan whatsoever to either move offices out of downtown or significantly improve transit options into downtown.
Isn’t that because there is a 400-year tsunami of 60m high, and they’re trying to de-densify?
That feels like such a waste compared to not making the super crowded b-line a train line sooner vs later.
They're literally digging up Broadway constructing the Broadway line skytrain right now.
And it's not going all the way to UBC, which is the reason why the B-line is so crowded. You stop 1/3rd of the way there and then transfer to the B-line again.
They’re thinking about doing it. Hopefully the YIMBYs win.
It's inevitable. It's really only a matter of time.
There's only so much money that (is politically viable) to spend on this stuff at any given moment. As soon as the line to Langley is done we're gonna see a pivot to building out to UBC or North Shore.
