Is this issue now considered a dead one due to $$ costs / harbour depth, or is it ultimately a viable option? I get the drift that many people on the NS would use it (although of course it's not on the books due to cost)

I'm sure they'd love to have this. And I would love for the other end of the Canada Line to be extended to Steveston to serve me and my neighbours.
But who's going to pay for the underwater crossing for those few tens of thousands of people on the North Shore that will use it?
My dream extension probably costs 1/5 as much as her dream extension, and I bet mine would have better ridership. But neither will be built.
