Even if it were the least busy of the alignments, if it were not a flyover, that would mean it would need to cross oncoming, busier, lanes in an intersection. That would slow down movement in other directions, like Steveson to 99NB.
That said, I think it is a pretty busy movement. And it can get more busy in the future. There are talks of pushing Steveston hwy through to the port lands. At the end of Steveston is Riverport way. There are quite a few condos there with more planned. Riverport way could also connect through to the Riverport, and connect with Portside or Blundell. It could become a major way into and out of the industrial lands there.
