Eurasia Tunnel: Tunnel beneath Bosphorus opens in Istanbul
Should the Canada Line be extended to South Richmond and Tsawwassen?
http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canada-line-skytrain-richmond-tsawwassen
Of course there was no proper SkyTrain-Canada+Line to the ferry terminals that was seriously considered.

SkyTrain must be extended from downtown Vancouver to the North Shore
http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/skytrain-north-vancouver-west-vancouver-north-shore
Propper big city urban planning just isn't happening in backwards BC and the short SkyTrain is another example of the watering down agenda.

Such short platforms and trains for the SkyTrain-Canada Line
http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/short-platforms-and-trains-is-the-skytrain-canada-line-under-built-and-nearing-capacity
Unfortunately the multibillion dollar Canada+Line was designed to have very short stations. Much shorter than any underground stations in Edmonton & Seattle, especially Montreal & Toronto. Planning & building proper big city size infrastructure in BC has mostly been difficult through the decades. There has been a multi-generational mindset & agenda to hold BC back.
http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canada-line-skytrain-richmond-tsawwassen
http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canada-line-skytrain-richmond-tsawwassen
How could such a backwater BC agenda be so powerful since the 1800s? Well, if you can't build a wall around BC or generate a Star Trek like force field around Greater Vancouver, you can at least continually demonstrate a reluctance to build proper size infrastructure. Originally, BC was supposed to be a Whiteman's paradise. Thus, there was a strong resentment to build anything for nonwhites. Somehow, since BC was starting to be more multicultural since the 1960s & 70s, then even morso by the 1990s, one would think that there would be proper big city infrastructure built-up.
Instead, it was like the White British Colonial mentality continued right into modern times. Hospitals & schools weren't being properly expanded. Most bridges or crossing were kept narrow. Unfortunatly, such narrow-mindedness also went towards the planning & building of short trains. It was as if there was such a resentment to plan & build big for nonwhites, so almost everything has been kept small or backwards in BC.
http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/surrey-light-rail-skytrain-mistakes-underbuilt
http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/surrey-light-rail-skytrain-mistakes-underbuilt
BC has had such a slow growth agenda for several decades. Thus, by symbolically building inadequate infrastructure, it is hope that frustrated people will go elsewhere, or don't even show up. WTH? Fortunately, this agenda hasn't taken over Edmonton & Calgary or Seattle WA & Perth WA.
Most of the world is nonwhite & in most of the world the major cities are allowed to think & build big. Despite the size of Canada, it has less than 1% of the world's population. During the colonial times there was a strong KEEP THEM OUT mentality. However, while Canada has embrace multiculturalism for several decades, Canada has yet to contain 1% of the worlds population, let alone 2%. So much infrastructure, especially in backwards BC has been heled back or thwarted. Yet, the Pacific Rim has a big portion of the worlds population.
Pacific cities like Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane, Seattle, Portland, SF, LA & SD, just don't have the same impose restrictions & inept planning like Vancouver & Victoria have.

The Portland intersection
Portland_OR has a lot of bridges & is such a far cry from the Vancouver, BC bottleneck planning approach.
"The Bridges of Portland There are 11 bridges crossing the Willamette River in the Portland area with a total of 54 lanes. These bridges are: • St. Johns Bridge (4 lanes) • Fremont Bridge (8 lanes) • Broadway Bridge (4 lanes) • Steel Bridge (3 lanes with a fourth used by light rail) • Burnside Bridge (5 lanes) • Morrison Bridge (6 lanes) • Hawthorne Bridge (4 lanes) • Marquam Bridge (8 lanes) • Ross Island Bridge (4 lanes) • Sellwood Bridge (2 lanes) • George Abernethy Bridge (6 lanes) There are two other bridges that also serve the Portland area. These bridges span the Columbia River and connect Oregon State to Washington State; more specifically, they connect the Vancouver, Washington area with the Portland area. These two bridges are: • Glenn L. Jackson Memorial Bridge (8 lanes) • Interstate Bridge (6 lanes). An important item to note here is the fact that the Interstate Bridge is now considered obsolete. The Oregon Department of Transportation and the Washington State Department of Transportation are currently working to replace the Interstate Bridge with a new bridge that will have five or six lanes in each direction – doubling its current capacity. An obvious comparison can be made with the project to twin the Port Mann Bridge. The Oregon-Washington bridge replacement project is called the Columbia River Crossing Project and more information can be found on the project’s website at www.columbiarivercrossing.org. The new Columbia River Crossing is being planned to address the congestion, mobility and safety problems on the Interstate Bridge and along the I-5 corridor between Vancouver, Washington and downtown Portland. It will include a lane for bus or light rail rapid transit."

Churchill, Manitoba, Canada
While Churchill is so far north of Winnipeg & nowhere near as big, it really should become the Sea-Port of Manitoba. A northern counterpart to the cargo & freight operations in Winnipeg.
