That section North of the Bow could still be grade-separated if the bridge went into a portal on the Bluff with a shallow tunnel and underground 16th Ave Station.

But let's take it a step further, why even have a city council? We should just let the provincial government make all of our decisions, right?

It might have been better if the Province had fully reviewed the Council's decisions earlier; then we would haven't the Council approving a 40 km Green Line in 2015, then just a 20 km Green Line Stage 1 in 2017, and now where Stage 1 is split into three segments and the river crossing segment is dependent on the other two staying on budget.
