At the same time, I can't say if I lived on Fraser Highway I would enjoy being in the shadow of a hulking concrete guideway. The corridor is already a lot more dense outside of Green Timbers than you would imagine.
More likely I'd want cut and cover. But I guess nobody in the region really gives a hoot about the hoi polloi in Surrey.
I will say that even if you're in a tower 30 stories up Skytrain is *noisy*

Living South of the Fraser most of my life I will certainly agree that Fraser Highway is significantly denser than most would imagine, and that's only increasing especially around town centres. However, it certainly isn't dense enough for a subway. If noise is a serious issue then noise tubes can be implemented similar to Kuala Lumpur.
In general it would be great to see more density along Fraser Highway in the form of towers, particularly into Langley Centre. I believe Langleys Tallest building is still only 6 or seven stories.
