Other than the truck traffic, I agreed with what you have stated. I think it is time for an automated, electric shuttle service (either BRT with electric buses or LRT) in the downtown core that would link to transit terminals and parking sites outside of the downtown core.

The truck traffic should go over a third crossing or through the rail cut then over a Northwest Arm bridge. It should not be going through the downtown core.
