Brightwater conveyance tunnel plan

http://memorieshop.com/Seattle/Brightwater/index.html

The second Herrenknecht machine (BT2), excavating the eastbound drive to the North Creek shaft and pump station, has been shut down since mid-December for extensive wear repairs to the cutterhead. With work being done under air pressure of up to 4.4 bar, compressed air maintenance crews work for 45 minutes only, followed by three hours of decompression. The machine is about 6,500ft (2,000m) into its 11,600ft (3.5km) drive.

The Honda Celebration of Light is not only Vancouver's biggest event, but it's also the largest offshore fireworks competition in the world and attracts up to 400,000 spectators along English Bay each evening. Owned by the Not For Profit Vancouver Fireworks Festival Society, 2014 marks the 24th consecutive year of the event, which contributes in excess of $39 million in incremental tourism and hospitality spending each year.

Vancouver, Burnaby and NW...

The Burrard_Peninsula should have been planned as one city well over a century ago. Then eventually adding the Tri-Cities.

Unlike most of the region, theses 6 little cities don't have wide rivers or an inlet to hinder them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-Cities_(British_Columbia)#Transportation

Thus, it's more relatively easier to get around.

Greater Vancouver has been reluctant to build a few more bridges in the region. Bottleneck planning is the name of the game. Of course for most major urban areas around the world, rivers just aren't as much of a hindrance.

nyc-185m-tunnel-leads-nowhere-for-now

The 800-foot-long, 35-foot-deep concrete trench could someday lead to two new commuter rail tunnels under the Hudson River to New Jersey, if the billions needed to build them ever materialize.

The access tunnel is being built now because the massive Hudson Yards development with six skyscrapers, the tallest being 80 stories, will soon be built on top of it. Trying to dig such a huge trench through the bedrock after those buildings are completed, officials say, would be an engineering and financial nightmare.

https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/nyc-185m-tunnel-leads-nowhere-now-built-still-060902130.html
The access tunnel is expected to be completed in fall 2015.
Currently, there are two tunnels, opened in 1910, between New York's Penn Station and Newark, N.J., and they are unable to accommodate any more trains. They also flooded during Superstorm Sandy in 2012.
Any kind of breakdown or glitch in the tunnels can lead to huge delays for the 250,000 people who use Penn Station every day to ride NJ Transit and Amtrak.
"There's an urgent need to expand capacity between New York and New Jersey," says Craig Schulz, spokesman for Amtrak, whose trains serving the Northeast corridor between Washington and Boston are often packed, with ridership growing.

Its unfortunate that the bridge wasn't designed to support a future upper or lower deck. This could have provided an additional 2 north & 2 southbound lanes. Plus, an LRT line with a north & southbound set of tracks.
