Building a tram system in a city street is just as disruptive as the Cambie cut. I was in Bordeaux (France) in 2003 by the end of the construction of three separate tram lines downtown.

While the trenches weren’t as deep as on Cambie, they had to be deep enough to relocate all the utilities. Streets were totally closed for months at a time.
