Terminal is already there with a viaduct & is closer to the cut than the Malkin Connector would be. It could follow the alignment of the Expo Line guideway which already runs from the Cut & over the railway yards to Terminal north of Home Depot.
I'm sure many people in East Van would like to have 1st Ave cut off from the Terminal Viaduct & have that traffic relocated to a new freeway through the Cut & along an enlarged Grandview Highway to Highway One.

The reason why you haven't heard people demanding that new road be built through the cut. Is because people don't want it.
I only used the Cut as an example in my last post. It is once you start down the road of building extra roads. Where does it ever stop. The Malkin connector doesn't have to expand, but the fear of it happening is always there. If you never build the Malkin connector then there is nothing to expand on.
Also who says the people who live around the Cut would want all the traffic that goes up 1st avenue.
