I agree something like this needs to be built - as you mention there are so many emerging regional priorities that fit within it (HSR, commuter rail to valley). It would almost be our version of Montreal’s REM.

I’d also argue that the section into Vancouver should be built to eventually allow a cross burrard inlet tunnel to enable passenger rail service direct from downtown to Squamish/Whistler, which would also accommodate skytrain (without wading too much into the north shore crossing alignment debate)
