News says they were contemplating between a bridge and a tunnel. Fine news for us that they chose a tunnel.

A 8 lane tunnel today and what follows? 16 lane tunnel after 15 years? This is a futile mission. This is a gross waste of public money. It also encourages the sharp increase in air pollution and related diseases. It is a recipe for a further environmental disaster.

Vancouver should have opted for a rail tunnel. Vancouver should have opted for a sustainable transport system and there is only one such thing: mass transport system.

Vancouver's so-called `mayors`, you are dinosaurs of urban planning. Stop thinking the 19th century way. Come back to 21st century.

It is still not late. Vancouver must opt for a rail tunnel. Vancouver must opt for a sustainable transport system and there is only one such thing: mass transport system.

Hey! our environmentalist bro Tim. A rail tunnel would be built in concrete and steel just like this road tunnel bro! Come on.

and immersed tube is no tunnel. A real tunnel is bored.

@Santiago I think I agree with you on the definition of a tunnel.

The "Bridge lobby" is already at work against the proposed immersed tunnel as a raplacement for Massey Tunnel in Vancouver.

Metro Vancouver’s board of directors has voted to endorse an eight-lane immersed-tube tunnel as its replacement, following the recommendation by a task force last month.

Seems bridge`option is still on the table.

The immersed-tube tunnel scenario is also more technically challenging, whereas there is proven local construction expertise with bridges.

“It’ll be probably three years of environmental assessment reviews, five years of construction. We’d be looking at eight to nine years before this thing would even get built,”
