tunneled to Blanca then elevated the rest of the way west to UBC. there just isn't space on Broadway. very narrow sidewalks, buildings right up to the street, massively expensive property acquisitions. i think the stations should be done in the New-York-City style; every street corner just has a simple entrance into underground passages to the station with just a simple elevator on a corner or two. you can even have an escalator as shown in the last pic of Chicago.

love NY and Chicago. And yes, I agree. I don't think there should be elevation on Broadway. If it's a subway, then do it underground. and I love those examples from cities that have world class transit systems! Especially NY. We have much to learn from them in the way they've created their subway system.
