The Cushing Bridge in Calgary, Alberta
The Cushing+Bridge is a little like a typical narrow 4 lane bridge in backwards Vancouver. However, unlike Vancouver, Calgary built a 2 lane bus-bridge next to the 4 lane Cushing+Bridge. This is how properly dedicated bus lanes can be built next to an existing narrow BC type bridge.
Calgary is the biggest city in Western Canada. Vancouver is a small city in area and has less than a million people. However, Greater Vancouver and the BC Lower_Mainland, almost has more people than Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg combined.

A 4 track freight train set of bridges in Calgary is no problem, but in Vancouver and the metropolitan region, most of the freight train bridges still only have a single track. By now the Greater Vancouver region should have double track freight bridges and double track commuter train bridges.

Edmonton, Alberta
Edmonton as a capital city is so much larger than backwater provincial Victoria, BC. In some ways, Edmonton has even exceeded what's allowed in very restrictive Vancouver.

Seattle's Bridges
Fortunately, Seattle was never Vancouverized with narrow bridges, short trains and stumpy buildings.
