I think most people can agree that Broadway needs subway first. But Surrey should get funding put aside for it right after, and should also be underground.

As far as elevated feeling big city I've always thought the opposite. Walking down the street in London, I thought it was very big city how all of a sudden there'd just be a hole in the ground for you to step down into the subway.

We really shouldn't be catering civic infrastructure to tourists, but to those that live here and maybe don't want to see concrete guideways all over the city. Plus you have the benefit of not having to take away lanes for the posts, which to me is the more important reason.
