I guess it depends on your definition of a Highway and your definition of a city, but in Vancouver, Hwy 1 (the TCH) passes through the outskirts of the city limits, and Hwy 99 (to Seattle, thus more analogous to the 416) turns into city streets once it crosses the Fraser into Vancouver. Then again Vancouver is held up as an example by urban planners of what a city can be like if you don't build highways through the city.
Maybe if we build a bypass we can convert the central stretch of the Queensway into an urban boulevard.
