Simply expanding road capacity isn't enough. Express bus & HOV lanes are essential components for any widening or upgrades. A provision for rail rapid transit should always be considered as well.
https://cityduo.wordpress.com/tag/downtown
It has to be a very well coordinated effort to be able to continually stunt & thwart a city.
Use any excuse possible to scale back the heights of buildings, keep roads & bridges narrow & especially only have short trains.
The red tape & Double Dutch B$ can easily scale down any building project in Vancouver. Fortunately, Seattle & Calgary don't have as many hoops to jump through.
No one from outside of Vancouver, especially BC could believe that its as if there is a multi-generational power-structure that transcends parties & organizations.
This power-structure will use any group or party to continually thwart Vancouver & BC in general. All one has to do is look at Alberta & Washington State. Calgary & Seattle build up big infrastructure & flourish simply because they aren't under the control of Vancouver & BC.
In the early 1970s, Vancouver started to have some buildings taller than Honolulu.
Right into early 2022, Vancouver Planning Department wouldn't permit any office tower to match the height of One_America_Plaza in SD.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_America_Plaza Is a 34-story, 500 ft (150 m) tall building with an area of 623,000 sq ft (57,900 m2). San_Diego is notorious for having one of the shortest skylines of any american city. Some day, if it can relocate its airport then it will likely have buildings as tall as Edmonton.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_Canada#Tallest_buildings_in_Canada
Perhaps a bunch of protester can try to stop tourism and international travel.
https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/local-news/climate-activists-to-block-lions-gate-bridge-friday-morning-4800782 Due to the cities multi-decade long refusal to build up big city infrastructure, people are left with a 3 lane bottleneck. AKA, the Lions_Gate_Bridge. Its difficult to have rapid bus & HOV lanes when there are only 3 lanes to work with. Fortunately, most cities aren't thwarted by something like the Vancouver power-structure & backward BC mindset.
Other scenic cities such as, Seattle, SF, Sydney, Auckland & Rio just don't have Vancouver type restrictions to prevent building a big wide bridge across their harbors.
This is what happens when BC can't build a wall or electric fence around it. The, KEEP THEM OUT mentality is very strong in Vancouver & Victoria & BC in general.
Why build up proper size infrastructure when you can just cause more disruptions & congestion?
A lot of people don't have much of a choice but to use the inept 3 lane Lions_Gate_Bridge.
Vancouver & the North_Shore should have worked together decades ago to build their own version of something like the Downtown_Seattle_Transit_Tunnel. First for rapid buses & then LRT with a provision to become very high capacity. Fortunately, Vancouver wasn't able to stop Seattle, but Vancouver certainly continues to prevent itself from having big city infrastructure.
Another 3 lane wonder can be found in Victoria. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson_Street_Bridge
BC has such expertise in bottleneck planning, but for some reason, it can't seem to get most of the world to do the same.

Edmonton already has the Stantec_Tower, which is 66-storeys at a height of 251 metres (823 ft), is the tallest building in Western_Canada in late 2021.
Seattle might eventually have a 93 story tower. https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?cityID=27&status=15
So far, Vancouver wont permit any building to rival Burnaby, Edmonton, Calgary, Seattle & especially Toronto & SF. Burnaby might have a few more tallest buildings in BC. https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?cityID=31&status=15
Surrey is trying to have the first office tower in BC that's over 700 feet. https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?cityID=2&status=15
Vancouver still wont permit any office building to have 40 floors, let alone 50 or 60.
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/1780-east-broadway-commercial-public-consultation
Almost any attempt to enable Vancouver to function like a big city is thwarted. Most of BC is a mountain wilderness that's too uncomfortable for people. Yet, the few major urban areas are continually stunted with so many restrictions.

The green scam is a clever way to avoid building big infrastructure. Why build something like a 152m long Montreal Metro train, when you can just build a 50m Canada Line? Don't even allow for a provision to triple length the underground stations because that would add more capacity.
https://grist.org/cities/vancouver-promised-greenest-city-in-the-world-2020-what-went-wrong/

The BC part of Canada is very reluctant to have its 2 mild regional urban areas become big.
Even if Vancouver & the BC Lower_Mainland was allowed to become as big as Montreal or Seattle, most of BC would still be wilderness & small towns. In some ways its Canada, but its especially BC that doesn't want Vancouver to ever become as big as the Greater_Toronto_Area or the San_Francisco_Bay_Area.

They would be impressive in Victoria, Kelowna, Kamloops or Prince George. Not in Calgary or Seattle, Toronto or Montreal. That's how it goes for little scenic Vancouver. Fortunately, scenic cities like Auckland, Sydney & SF allow taller office towers than Vancouver & they are still just as scenic as ever.
Another lost potential of the cities first 50 story office tower. It wont even be permitted to have a 40th floor.
The more red tape & B$ that Vancouver can impose or mandate, the better the chance of holding the city back.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Regency_Vancouver
Of course the Seattle version has almost double the number of rooms. As a big bulky building, it has a lot more capacity than the slender towers in vancouver.
"Hyatt Regency Seattle, also known as 808 Howell Street and 8th & Howell, is a high-rise hotel in the Denny Triangle neighborhood of Seattle, Washington that opened in December 2018. The 45-story hotel, operated by Hyatt, has 1,260 hotel rooms and is the largest in the city."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberta_Highway_63#/media/File:Fort_McMurray_Athabasca_River_Bridges_2.png If this was in BC, everything would be funneled into 2 lanes each way.
Fort_McMurray had a 10 lane crossing long before it would reach 75,000 people. Greater Vancouver was well over 2 million people before its 10 lane crossing was built. That is the Port_Mann_Bridge.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberta_Highway_63#Construction
Unlike Alberta or Washington State, BC really likes to funnel traffic into three-lane-crossings that should have at least double the capacity. The Vancouver & Victoria mentality has no control over Seattle & Calgary. Those are the two closest major cities to BC and its amazing to see how much larger their scale of urban infrastructure is.
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/nicomekl-river-bridge-riverfront-park
King_George_Boulevard should have a minimum of 6 lanes all the way through its length. That would make it a lot easier to have a couple of bus or HOV lanes. So much of BC just had a 1 lane each way wagon road mentality for so long. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_George_Boulevard#History So to even get to a point where there are 2 lanes each way frightens some people. Especially a multi-generational stubborn power-structure that doesn't want to encourage rapid growth. Since BC can't control immigration into Canada, the next best thing would be to build a wall to perpetuate the, KEEP THEM OUT agenda. Of course that would result in many challenges, so BC continually thwarts the size of its infrastructure. On a much larger scale, Canada has made sure that its nowhere near containing 1% of the worlds population. Yet in-spite of that, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary & Edmonton are all still able to build up larger infrastructure, because they don't have to contend with Vancouver & Victoria restrictions.
BC has such expertise in funneling traffic into a 3 lane crossing. Some people would just like it to remain as it is.
The quintessential 3 lane bottleneck.
Of course the BC capital would have to have its own 3 lane bottleneck.
If you are from Montreal or QC, it would be difficult to imagine something like a BC power-structure putting in a 3 lane crossing when it should at least have 6 lanes.
Just imagine if this little 3 lane bridge was at a major crossing point in Montreal or QC.
Montreal already has its share of congestion. If anyone there tried to impose BC bottleneck planning there it would be an outrage of protests.
https://vancouver.skyrisecities.com/database/projects/1090-west-pender-street
Not even 35 floors when it should have been at least 55 stories. Its like every office tower in Vancouver has 15 to 30 stories cut from it. Even in 2022, Vancouver still wont be permitting offices on a 40th floor.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdhcDyTtiDs
As land values continued to climb, eventually it became necessary to significantly build upwards. Albeit in condensed areas. Good rail connections help to make access to this larger scale of engineering more efficient.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbTEsIi8Hg0
And to think that there was a time when London had shorter buildings than what Vancouver or anywhere else in BC had. Of course the Great_Reset & the Fourth_Industrial_Revolution could become very effective devices to stunt or hinder the world. All in the name of environmental protection.
Considering that Canada is the 2nd largest county in area, yet it has less than half of 1 percent of the worlds population, one could almost think TGR (the-great-reset) was developed in Canada.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Reset#Canada If someone really has a, KEEP THEM OUT agenda for Canada, the 2020s would seem to be the time to fully impose it. All in the name for having a better environment.
Certainly, there are good arguments about reducing carbon emissions & limiting the human population, but turning the world into a UN run global state might take things to extremes.
Since most of the world is non-white, any global reset and control agenda will mostly affect people that aren't of European heritage. Conveniently, the wording isn't officially stated like that. Perhaps openly pointing that out just might cause most of the world to start asking more questions about the true nature of a Global Management System. Its not that a GMS ins't necessary, it's just that lot of wide sweeping changes could be thrusted upon the world over the next few decades.

Streetcars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RftqoygXXHk
Vancouver was one of the first cities to get rid of its streetcars. Its trying its damnedest to be one of the last major cities to bring them back. Fortunately, Vancouver wasn't able to get Toronto, SF & Melbourne to get rid of all their streetcars or trams.
Trams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOS2KUmLcNc
It's one thing to start out with short stations, but at least allow for the provision of Montreal Metro length stations that are 500 feet. Unfortunately, the first 2 Vancouver lines only have 80m long stations. While Montreal was able to build 152m long stations right from the start. Then the 3 line that goes to Richmond only has stunted 50m stations. There has been a long running sentiment in Vancouver that BC doesn't ever need or want to have a Montreal or Seattle size city. All one needs to do is look at the larger scale of infrastructure in Montreal & Seattle than whats permitted in little Vancouver.
All the stations could have been built to around 152m or 153m to allow for future long trains, but apparently its better to have short congested trains to match the narrow road system. Its all about demonstrating a reluctance to build proper big city size infrastructure in Greater Vancouver. Since BC, an area that can contain the area of 23 Switzerlands or more than 3 times the area of Italy, it's almost like it doesn't want the world to know that. BC can't reduce the scale of infrastructure in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary & Edmonton, because they are all beyond the reach of the muli-generational Vancouver & Victoria power-structure.

In the future Calgary will have at least one new underground section that will likely have long stations just like Edmonton & Dallas. That's because Calgary, Edmonton & Dallas aren't under Vancouver & BC small scale planing & building restrictions. Indeed, the Vancouver & BC power-structure can't slow Ontario, Quebec & Alberta down, but BC continues to think & build smaller scale infrastructure for itself.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK3W7n5LKq4 It's so nice to see that Edmonton & Alberta never fell into the short Vancouver & BC station mentality. Edmonton rather went for underground stations to not be that much shorter than those of the Toronto Subway. That means in the future, the underground LRT stations can be more like big city subway stations. BC logic is to have shorter stations with more trains per hour. However, the short Vancouver trains can easily fill up, because they are barely more than half the length of a Montreal Metro train. (152m) Indeed, the first 2 Skytrain lines have stations that are only 80m. The 3rd line that runs to Richmond has absurd 50m stunted stations.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCJPr0UOR3I
Fortunately, Montreal & Quebec never built something like a little SkyTrain or opted for a little Vancouver road system. Although the Montreal & Quebec power-structure is somewhat restrictive & limiting when compared to Toronto & Ontario, it's still nowhere as stunting or thwarting as the Vancouver & BC power-structure.

Being from Vancouver one is used to seeing lanes removed, not added. Fortunately, there never was something like a Vancouver power-structure to remove the trams of Melbourne either. Thus, Melbourne is able to have some wide streets with trams still in the middle of them.
If you are from Melbourne & visit Vancouver, you might expect to see a big city on the scale of Sydney or SF, Montreal or Seattle. Yet, all you will find is something more like the equivalent of a false-front movie set.

As Vancouver continues to get even more expensive, you just don't get the same quality of urban infrastructure that you would in several other major cities in Canada and around the world.
