The 6 and then 4 lane Burrard St. Bridge (BSB)

 https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/local-news/5-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-the-burrard-bridge-7129420 The BSB used to have 6 lanes, but was reduced to 4, because the city didn't want to build a parallel bike bridge.

Hopefully, the VMV will never cause the removal of 2 lanes from the congested 6 lane Second+Narrows+Bridge
