The idea being a toll like London has with the goal of reducing traffic enough you could change some of the main downtown streets to public transit or pedestrian only.
Some of the same people with those ideas helped to quiet some of the streets in the west end already like Jervis.
The city is already experimenting on the outside of this issue by limiting traffic going over Burrard by increasing bike capacity with separated lanes.
There are congestion points downtown and as you head into downtown that the city is actively trying to resolve. Increasing public transit access to downtown with the Canada line has created some unanticipated congestion headaches. Even though there aren't more cars on the road, vancouver traffic is getting worse. They're going to have to come up with some interesting solutions to fix it.
