I would be very happy to get the causeway traffic out of the parks and think 
that cyclists must have a safe and fast route across Burrard inlet.  It is 
unlikely that the bridge will be torn down as it is a heritage landmark.  
Possibly, the tolls (I expect there will be tolls on the tunnel) can also go 
towards the cost of maintaining the bridge.  I would also want the tunnel to 
be configured so that one lane each way can be used for rapid transit.  I do 
have a problem with increasing the capacity of bridges or tunnels into the 
Downtown Peninsula which will see its population doubled.  More cars will make 
it less liveable.  The main problem with the bridge is actually on the 
weekends(particularly ferry and Howe Sound traffic), not during week day rush 
hours.  So the tunnels are actually encouraging people bound for Howe Sound to 
go through the downtown.
