Yes, the plan is to in the near-term build the two bridges over the Columbia River, link them up at either end, build light rail to Vancouver Waterfront, and remove the existing bridges. The rest of the 5 mile corridor is to be phased in afterward. They have also planned for a possible "Step 1" approach should they be unable to close a 2.2 B funding gap, where the bridges are constructed with room for light rail but the tracks and stations are left yet to be built.
