The Erasmus Bridge (1996)

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erasmusbrug

It carries 2 tramway tracks, 4 traffic lanes, 2 cycle tracks & 2 sidewalks. It's such a nice wide bridge.

The Tilikum+Crossing is an equally well designed bridge. Unfortunatly, such good multimodal bridges don't seem to be allowed in BC. 

If only the Cambie+Bridge and The+North+Arm+Bridge could have been built to a similar standard...

Unfortunatly, Vancouver & BC seems to be afraid to build bridges of a similar quality to the Erasmus Bridge.
