I guess where there is a will, and a lot of money, there is a way, but I think even if there was money to spend on grade separations, there are much better options to target first (Holdom overpass, closure of the Douglas road crossing, some of the crossings in Port Coquitlam/Pitt Meadows near the main CP yard, etc.)

Isn't there still a level crossing at Boundary Road?
As long as that one stays, then Rupert and Renfrew will also stay.
One option would be to constuct a long railway viaduct, but I don;t know how the grades would work leading to the Grandview Cut.
I suspect that the land is too swampy in the area to dig a cut/trench for the railway.
