Perth, WA and Seattle, WA

It's always interesting to see what Perth and Seattle are allowed to do, simply because they aren't bound by any BC type restrictions.

Of course Vancouver, BC would never allow anything like the Northbridge_Tunnel or the 99_tunnel to run under the downtown and connect to the North_Shore

Even though an express bus tunnel with a provision for 2 train tracks would immensely improve this transportation corridor, it's not allowed. That's because Vancouver refuses to take a big city approach. Indeed, the Vancouver mentality is to emulate a provincial backwater mentality for as long as possible.
