For transit, the grades on the 10-lane bridge design were too steep for LRT. The tunnel's grades are far less, which means rail could actually be built in the tunnel at a later date.

Based on the diagrams given in the presentation
The grades on the Bridge are a bit less than 4% (3.9%, precisely), which is within the feasible grade for LRT, which goes up to at least 4-6% grades, depending on who you ask.
Skytrain is also feasible, as it has a similar maximum grade (4%)
