Uh, overlapping and hierarchies only stand a chance of helping you if a handset can see more than two base stations.

Are providers going to install extra base stations to enable you to triangulate your position? Doubting it.

Not because of the cost of the BTS itself, but because of challenges getting permission for an antenna site then leasing T1/E1 lines to the central controller plus the desire to build out coverage to start before backfilling the holes.

I believe Snaptrack and/or GPS is cheaper and offers unmatched coverage. Providers have no other requirement but to implement it in their web and 911 software then start raking in the cash.
