Waterfront's also jammed with SkyTrain and SeaBus passengers, while Pacific still has room for additional foot traffic and a customs area.

SkyTrain, because any route would skip the West End, Stanley Park, Ambleside, Park Royal or pretty much any reason to have a First Narrows crossing in the first place. So everybody loses.
Heck, if we've got that much money and land anyway, we might as well try a
SkyBus route up the Sea to Sky. Expand to Fraser Valley, Okanagan and Kamloops if it turns out well.
