The other realistic compromise is the bad compromise, and that would be a cheaped out surface LRT built all the way to UBC in one go. Now that would be an appropriate use of the term, "under building."

Would it be feasible to bore the tunnel all the way to UBC and then just build the stations and install the working parts to arbutus?
