Metrotown to North Shore Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)

 https://vancouver.ca/streets-transportation/metrotown-to-north-shore-rapid-transit.aspx 

Unfortunately, the Second Narrows Crossing wasn't designed to have a lower deck for BRT, or express busses and LRT. The bridge was never widened to 10 lanes, so there isn't enough space to have 2 proper BRT or express bus lanes and no HOV lanes. There was no proper planning to even have 2 emergency lanes or 2 wide shoulders.
