I don't know if that is accurate. From what I can find, Richmond council was opposed to the elevated design on 3 Road, explored moving the elevated line to Minoru Boulevard, and even considered rejecting the project. The line was single-tracked on 3 Road in part to reduce the visual impact of the elevated line.
