They just need to make sure the route is determined based on sound engineering practice, not some politician saying the "Broadway Line" must be under Broadway.

Has the City or Translink ever said that cut and cover under 10th is a feasible option? The stations are much wider than 10th Ave., so I wonder how that would work.

Tunnelling does have its own benefits — if it’s done right, the public wouldn’t even know the construction is happening right underneath their feet, said the TAC’s Eberhardt.

Even with the TBM section of the Canada Line downtown, there was still major disruption with the construction of the stations, so this statement is misleading and he knows it. With stations every 850 meters, whatever street is going to be screwed regardless of construction method.
