Yeah, I would agree with that goal too. It's just a challenge when you do have quite a few people coming from West Van and parts of North Van that really are commuter distances where you can't fault people for wanting to drive, and there's no easy way to do a park and ride because there's no LRT north of the inlet.
If you created an absolutely massive piece of parking infrastructure around Lonsdale Quay, spent millions upon millions in road upgrades and dock upgrades (not to mention new boats) to, let's say, quadruple the seabus schedule, that might be a solution that would get people there. But even as I type that, it sounds potentially non-feasible. It would be a pretty damned fun city planning problem to try to tackle, actually.
