Point 3 - Route Logistics
With SLGI LRT, the route of the tracks is extremely important since LRT collisions are insanely high. London just had its first fatal collision with LRT and Edmonton and Calgary each have plenty of fatalities of their own as well.
If we were going to go ahead with SLGI LRT in the downtown peninsula then I would personally like to see some grade separation at intersections that have a high collision potential.
My counterpoint against LRT is that if we need LRT grade-separated anyways for safety concerns then why not just build Skytrain?
Point 4 - More Bus Inventory
Trust and believe, once we see the Millennium extension to UBC, we are going to see some great things happening with bus routes across Metro Vancouver.

Is that really possible? You say it is next to nigh impossible to have, but please just imagine for a moment that it were; could you apply it to that possible LRT Vancouver map?
I would love to see some renders of what it might be like!
