Bridge Widening
An IP editor, Script error: No such module "user". provided the following feedback:
- This bridge was not expanded to 3 lanes by repainting the lines. The deck was replaced and in doing so the sidewalks were moved to the outside of the suspension cables. On the non-suspended portion, a wider deck was installed to mate to the suspended portion.
Due to an issue with the feedback, it must be hidden, to avoid loosing the potentially useful feedback when it is hidden I am copying the above non problematic portion of the feedback here. I can't vouch for the accuracy, but it certainly deserves consideration. Monty845 21:30, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Date format
Template:Ping For this article, retaining the existing style would mean MDY in the prose and DMY in the citations going by the pre-expansion revisions, for example this 2018 version. In the interest of reader sanity, having a single date format across all Vancouver bridge articles would be more helpful than edit warring on individual articles. Since Canada has no clear consensus on date formats, I simply wished to reflect what the sources used, which is more consistently MDY even today. SounderBruce 02:53, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
- Pretty sure we don't make distinctions between article date format and citation date format, do we? My understanding was that we pick the earliest date format used in citations and go with that. I guess if we just go with earliest date format used anywhere, it would be mdy. Okay, it does seem like MOS:DATERET does specify that and very early versions of the page use mdy in the body. I'll revert.
- If readers are driven insane by dmy in some articles and mdy in others, Wikipedia is probably not the place for them. Arbitrarily deciding all X-subject articles will have dmy or mdy is not super-productive and in some cases may go against RETAIN. —Joeyconnick (talk) 00:55, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
Tower height
I'm not sure where the current figure of 111 m for the height comes from as it's not cited but here is a government document stating that the height is 110 m: https://nrc-publications.canada.ca/eng/view/ft/?id=066e646c-23c7-4bca-a347-c5dd38a229c9
Should the height be amended and this link provided as a citation? If not, is there a known source for the 111 figure? PlantPerson (talk) 22:01, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
