The current Granville+Street+Bridge was built a generation after the Burrard+Street+Bridge. Both bridges should have had a lower deck for streetcars, tram-trains (LRT) and buses.

The Cambie+Street+Bridge should have been built a couple of metres wider on its west side. Then a traffic lane didn't have to be reallocated for bikes. A slightly wider bridge would have allowed for 2 bike paths as well as 2 footpaths.

Somehow, Vancouver and BC keep doing a lot of things the wrong way.

Skytrain-Canada Line maximum frequency and capacity issues

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canada-line-maximum-frequency-skytrain

A limited construction budget doesn't have to prevent an airport+line from eventually becoming a regional high capacity corridor. That is as long as it's designed with significant future capacity in mind. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case with the little YVR-Canada-Line.

Transportation infrastructure such as the Canada+Line, could have easily been designed to be expandable over the decades. However, its as if someone with a strong antigrowth & anti big city infrastructure agenda was able to make sure that this line was poorly designed.

There really should have been a long term plan to not only connect the Vancouver_International_Airport's, YVR_station to the Horseshoe_Bay_ferry_terminal and the Tsawwassen_ferry_terminal. Again, it was as if someone never wanted such a line to ever become a high volume transportation corridor linking West_Vancouver and Delta to the airport.

Such absurd 50 m stations, especially the underground ones, should have been designed with at least an extra 50 m of level clearance at each end. Instead, the joke that is the Canada Line was only designed to have two 20 m coaches with just enough space for an additional half-length coach. Wow, so this 2 car train can eventually become a 2.5 car train, but not a 5.

This joke of a 2 car train should have immediately opened with 3-5 car trains. Then ultimately, 8-10 car trains as needed.

Its difficult to understand why so much infrastructure in BC has to always be so underbuilt.
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canada-line-peak-hour-service-new-trains

There has been a multi-generational agenda to stunt or thwart the scale of infrastructure in BC. Long trains & wide bridges go against the congestive BC agenda. Allowing big & high capacity infrastructure in BC would be symbolic as well as indicative of properly planning for & efficiently managing growth. Why do that when you can just keep on implementing chokepoints & bottleneck planning overall?

TCH in Greater Vancouver, BC vs. Montreal

Apr 24, 2016

Platforms are the locations where passengers will wait for and board trains. Stations will have one, two or three platforms, which can be either a side or center type of platform. Side platforms have tracks on one side and will be 240 feet long and 12 feet wide. Center platforms have tracks on both sides and will be 240 feet long and 30 feet wide.

All platforms will be high-level (at the same level as the rail vehicle floor) to provide level boarding for all passengers and to accommodate wheelchairs, strollers, etc.

"The line will use 256 ft (78 m) four-car train sets, each with the capacity to carry about 780 passengers, similar in weight to light rail systems elsewhere in the United States (such as the MAX in Portland, Oregon), as opposed to heavier, and thus more expensive, lines found on rapid transit systems like the subways and elevated systems of Chicago and New York City."
