No.

This is one of the strengths in that the transportation modes are treated more as a system of all modes. Look at the coordination issues and bureaucratic nightmare that is most other North American metropolitan areas made up of a number of cities. You think it would be better making a regional road body? Maybe giving it back to the province (because that's worked so well with the rural-urban provincial politics divide on transit...)? Breaking up Translink's mandate is thin edge of the wedge stuff to making this region work more poorly for everyone. Transportation is a multi-modal system, not just roads.
