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.
