I believe that if corporate Canada were involved, there would be a greater chance of success. It's a bold vision; one that transforms the city rather dramatically if performed either small or large scale (large scale being additional routes out to the suburbs). The tubes could be solar-powered and would generate both its own power but also the power needed for traffic signals and street lights on the routes it is installed on.

Note, that the idea was proposed to the councilor but he quickly rejected it, without learning of the adaptations I proposed. His response was expected and I wan't surprised nor offended. The other ideas I suggested were readily accepted, however: signage over the right lane of all major routes that reads 'Bicycles entitled to full right lane. Pass in left lane only;' centralized bike lanes (down the centre of certain routes) and a Millenium Bike Station facility to be located downtown.
