 A Desire Named Streetcar :: thetyee.ca
I don't believe the Arbutus corridor is the best route for RAV, but its resuscitation as a streetcar line would add the kind of meaningful transit diversity and a link to history that San Francisco has with its multi-format transit system (which incorporates underground routes, cable cars, regular buses and a historical streetcar system).
I'd be happy to forego the increased value these images may have as historical documents after the property is developed if the alternative were to be able to hear the engine whistle and the bells of the crossing guards again.
The entire Arbutus Corridor and Richmond segement fits perfectly with the LRT definition of a reserved right-of-way which determines the difference between LRT and a streetcar or tramway.
