Show Notes
Vancouvers roads, shaped by the car boom, face unique challenges due to British Columbias mountains. The George Massey Tunnel, Canadas lowest highway point, showcases impressive engineering. Highway ninety-nine stretches from Vancouver to Mexico, while the Coquihalla Highway allows speeds up to one hundred twenty kilometers per hour. The Hope Slide tragedy in nineteen sixty-five highlighted the dangers of highway construction. Project two hundred in nineteen sixty-eight aimed to rebuild Vancouvers core but was halted by protests, preserving the citys highway-free downtown, a rare feature in North America.
