If they truly wanted it to happen they would have had it under construction beyond the ability to reasonably change plans by 2017, like Site C.
It was a vote getting promise for a giant bridge many said was overbuilt, to allow for bigger ships up and down the Fraser.
When deciding the project in 2013 or 2026, a tunnel is always going to be a cheaper option, primarily due to the soil conditions in that area. You can keep arguing about the past and stamping your feet but it's not very productive.
We should have built the RAV line in the 90s as envisioned by the Socreds when they built the Expo line. It would have been far cheaper and used the same track and technology as the Expo line. But I'm not here ranting about that because it's long over and pointless to do so.
