It’s okay if a project isn’t perfect, for example the Canada Line isn’t perfect, but it’s good, so no real problem there.
The sections of the trans Canada they are twinning aren’t perfect (using a mix of interchanges and protected T intersections, divided by a barrier instead of a wide grass median) but it’s good (no traffic lights, no direct access for houses and businesses, 4 lanes 100km speeds).
But then you get things like the SFPR, where we have already upgraded several sections at intense extra coast that should have been built right the first time.
If we spend a lot of time and money and disruption to upgrade Columbia Station, for it to just be upgraded again a decade or so later, then that is a waste.
I feel similar for the purple line rapid bus, which keeps increasing in cost. That should only be upgraded to a standard b-line bus route for the time being until Skytrain proper starts construction, which honestly has no excuse to be anymore than 10 years out (note that the line should be built in phases)
