Arthur Laing Bridge

The Arthur_Laing_Bridge should have been 6 lanes wide to easily accomodate 2 bus lanes. There should have also been 2 very wide sidewalks. Of course that never happened. By now, there should have been at least a bus & bike bridge built next to it. 

The Canada Line wasn't designed to have 10 car trains, not even 5 car trains. Its maximum design only allows for a 2.5 car train, someday. All the 50m underground stations should have had a level clearance of 50m at each end, so that eventually the stations could be about as long as the 152.5m Montreal Metro stations. Its another fine example of backwards Vancouver planning & backwater BC planning.
