I'm presuming you meant
nine figures, since even at $99,999,999 it would be a bargain. Even if it were an extra billion - and yes, that's a lot, but not a
lot-lot in SkyTrain terms - it is still arguably worth it. Connecting Park Royal and Capilano Road directly to downtown makes the line far more attractive to commuters in the western part of the District and in West Vancouver. Otherwise, if you're west of Lonsdale and looking to go downtown, there's little incentive to take the train when the SeaBus or bus network will get you there as fast or faster than a route crossing near the IWM.
