Vancouver General Discussion Thread

On the other hand, Sunshine Coast would be much closer to Vancouver than Squamish for example is. It is currently a pretty inexpensive place to live, so many might consider moving there and commuting to Vancouver.

But yeah, the outcome is likely something along those lines you mention. Cheapest option is likely building a new road along the shoreline from Squamish, but that is highly inconvenient for traffic. Building a bridge through two islands in middle of the sound is likely the most practical, but also expensive option.

There was also a third option to build a road that would head through the mountains west of Squamish (there is some kind of remote valley in there) and then route it back to Sunshine Coast somewhere around Egmont. That would be very expensive and also highly impractical option so I am not sure why they are even considering it. Would make for a beautiful drive, though.
