You talk about wasting space and then dislike the idea of the stack interchanges proposed (with centre media bus stops as well I might add). For the amount of movement being done you cant have it both ways. That fact that they are so multi-layered is actually going to make them very compact. In fact the new Steveston interchange will take up less space than old existing design (with loops) that it is replacing.

Even if the bridge width was reduced this interchange should still remain the same design.
