Part of the solution will be an extension of the lower level road across the southern part of the reserve, under Lions Gate, and across the mouth of the Capilano river. It's unclear where it'll connect in West Van (and NIMBYs are surely lighting the torches already) but they say it will connect to Marine Drive around Park Royal.

It doesn't solve Lions Gate bridge itself but will be great for getting around that mess if you're not taking the bridge.

Here's the Squamish nation pdf file on it: http://www.squamish.net/files/PDF/IR5_Page_3-14.pdf

You should go and take a visit yourself. It is smaller than the Surrey Campus though.

Thanks for the details - I was thinking that could be an alternate route.
