Starting from the south end of the tracks, bury the C-Train from cemetary hill (under 25th Ave) then rise above grade, 50m before the river above ground utilizing existing bridge. Then continue above grade for just the next 50m north of the river, until burying it all the way 12th ave.
This allows; better intersection at 25th ave, and perhaps the radical idea of connecting 17th ave with Olympic Way.
The real estate of burying the C-Train line, affords space for new retail above the line as well. |

Awesome! Muta, is there a link to that planning? I recall, the city has had conversations around burying the C-Train line under 25th ave. Could make it a heckuva roller coaster for those 1,000 meters or so
