Okay, I'll take a stab at it. But please comment because I spent a good hour on this, and this is what I came up with, off the top of my head:
TOWERS:
This is so difficult to guess. But I'll try my best to guess where we'll be in terms of
150m towers region-wide.
Complete --
4
Under Construction --
6 -- Trump, Vancouver House, Brentwood ONE/TWO, Altus, 3 Civic Plaza
Approved/Proposed/Likely to go ahead. --
7 -- One Burrard, 1133 Melville, Brentwood THREE, NW Waterfront Tower 2, FBC Tower, Nelson on the Park, 1500 West Georgia
Upcoming --
8 -- 1070-1080 Barclay, 1060 Barclay, 740 Nicola (Wall), 1445 West Georgia (James Cheng), Tower opposite Vancouver House, Brentwood FOUR, Gilmore Centre (2)
So I would say
25 towers over 150m is fairly likely. There will probably be a couple more proposals that I forgot/don't know about. Maybe on the south side of Alberni, at Burrard? Maybe a couple of the Lougheed Mall towers? Sears Metrotown property? Etc, etc...
RAPID TRANSIT:
- Millenium Line extended to Arbutus. (6 stations)
- Expo Line extended to Langley Centre. (6-8 stations)
- Phase 1 of Surrey LRT is built (Guildford-Surrey Central-Newton).
- World-class Waterfront Station HUB is built, or at least under construction.
- SFU Gondola is built.
- Capstan Way, YVR 4, and Pearson-57th stations complete.
- Major Expo Line renovations complete at Joyce-Collingwood, Edmonds, Columbia, and Surrey Central.
- New Park Place entrance to Burrard Station.
- Platform extension at Stadium-Chinatown Station.
- All or most of the mayor's council B-line routes are implemented.
ROADWAYS:
- George Massey Tunnel is replaced. Highway 99 improvements (or at least Phase 1, if it's broken up) are complete, mirroring Highway 1 in design quality, including:
- All ageing overpasses are replaced (like Hwy 1). This would mean only a dozen or so overpasses would be at risk during an earthquake, region-wide.
- All interchanges are rebuilt to modern standards. HOV-only ramps built at or in the vicinity of Steveston Hwy, Highway 17a, and King George Blvd.
- I'd also really like to see bus-only ramps at Van Horne Way, but that could only really happen when the Oak Street Bridge is rebuilt.
- Patullo Bridge rebuilt along with associated improvements.
- Highway 1 improvements north of IMB.
- Highway 1 6-laning out to Abbotsford, with associated improvements.
- SFPR is fully grade-separated. If it can't all be done, then at least at Tilbury, Sunbury, and Old Yale Road.
- 192 Street interchange rebuilt.
- Templeton Street interchange is built, along with associated improvements.
- Anniedale interchange is built.
- 72 Avenue interchange is built.
- Shaughnessy Street interchange is built, along with perhaps one more Mary Hill Bypass interchange.
- Malkin Connector completed, with new FTN bus service along it (or Terminal) and 1st avenue, to Brentwood.
- Lincoln Avenue connector complete, with new FTN bus service to Lincoln Station.
- United Boulevard extension complete.
RAIL IMPROVEMENTS:
- Roberts Bank rail corridor completely grade-separated through Langley City.
- Burrard Inlet rail corridor completely grade-separated to at least Slocan Street, potentially to Boundary Road.
- Grade seperation of rail lines at:
- Westwood Street
- Harris Road
- Pitt River Road
- Braid Street (United Blvd extension)
- I'd also really like to see the New West rail bridge replaced but that seems to have fallen off the radar...
OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE:
- Deltaport Terminal 2
- Centerm Expansion
- YVR Terminal 4 and/or Concourse D extension/completion.
- YVR B/C Pier improvements, phase 2.
- New St. Paul's Hospital
- Royal Columbian Hospital redevelopment
- Lions Gate and Iona wastewater treatment plants.
----------
I might sound like a lot, but most of this stuff is planned to be built in the next 10 years, or sooner. It would also be roughly in line with what we've seen the last 10 years, not counting economic/population growth.
