DeVries Degree: Master of Urban Studies Title: Household income composition changes with rapid transit implementation: A natural experiment study of SkyTrain, Metro Vancouver, 1981-2016 Examining Committee: Chair: Karen Fergusen Professor, Urban Studies & History Meghan L Winters Senior Supervisor Associate Professor, Health Sciences Peter V Hall Supervisor Professor, Urban Studies & Geography Andy Yan External Examiner Director, City Program Adjunct Professor, Urban Studies Date Defended/Approved: March 12, 2019 ii Abstract Background—Rapid transit such as SkyTrain is beneficial to move people efficiently, reduce carbon emissions, and increase physical activity. However, these benefits attract new development resulting in rising housing prices that may consequently change the household income composition. Metro Vancouver has not skirted this phenomenon, with rapid population growth and signs of neighbourhood change near SkyTrain. Research Question—Does the household income composition change in areas nearby new SkyTrain stations? Hypothesis—After a new SkyTrain station opens, lower income households may initially have better access to rapid transit, but over time nearby areas shift towards higher income households. Methods and Procedures—This natural experiment study uses census data for Metro Vancouver census tracts (CTs) 1981–2016. Household income composition is measured using relative share of households (location quotient (LQ)) in three income categories. Exposed areas are within 1.6 km (20-min walk) of SkyTrain stations compared to the rest of the region. Spatial analysis visualizes geographic distributions using ArcGIS, and statistical analysis tests concepts with linear mixed effects models using R software. Results—The study assesses 374 CTs in 17 municipalities and finds areas nearby new SkyTrain stations start with a larger relative share of lower income households at baseline (1981) but shift towards more affluence over time. The areas exposed to SkyTrain changed in relative share of households faster than unexposed areas by LQ= -0.024, -0.012, and 0.026 more for very low, lower, and high income households, respectively, per census year (every five years). This means the relative share of each income group changed by 1–3% more in exposed areas than unexposed areas over every five-year period or a total change of 8–18% more over the entire study period. Conclusions—Future planning must consider SkyTrain does impact who lives in areas nearby and options to protect lower income housing with access to transit are needed. Keywords: rapid transit; neighbourhood change; displacement; household income; low income; transportation iii Dedication To my grandma, Carrol, you taught me that hard work, perseverance, and a never- ending passion for our work can take us places beyond our hopes and dreams. Thank you for being my strong female mentor, incessant supporter, reality reminder, and life- long friend. I love you. iv Acknowledgements First, I would like to acknowledge the continuous support and teaching I receive from my supervisor, Meghan Winters. You are a powerhouse, a wonderfully passionate and wise researcher, and I am so lucky to work with you and learn from you. The team (family) you have built in the CHATR Lab has been my academic support and personal stress reliever on many projects. To the team, Stephanie Sersli, Michael Branion-Calles, Kate Hosford, Caitlin Pugh, Lief Pagalan, Amanda Rowlands, Cassandra Mah, Moreno Zanotto, Jaimy Fischer, Colin Ferster, Merideth Sones, and new and future members, thank you for everything from learning to code to coffee breaks. To the members of the Urban Studies community, you have become another huge part of my academic family. Thank you to the professors, Peter Hall, Anthony Perl, Meg Holden, Karen Fergusen, Paddy Smith, and Matt Hern, for challenging me to think outside of my quantitative training into the world of urban theories, even when I resisted. Your pushing me elevated this thesis beyond what I thought it could be. To all of the students and alumni I’ve connected with, the members of my 696 class, and those who pushed me to expand my thinking with feedback on my work and collaborations in the USGSA, Kate Elliot, Holly Adams, Tanya Hebron, Joan Chamunorwa, Julianne King, Steve Tornes, Yida Lim, Zachary Strom, Rahil Adeli, Jordan Booth, Qara Clemente, and many, many more, I thank you for your support and friendship. Also, to Terri Evans, the program would not be what it is without you. Thank you for your support with academic planning and your quick answers to whatever questions I come up with. To my friends outside of my academic circles, thank you for putting up with months (ok, years) of my obsessing and sometimes complaining about my thesis work. To my room mate and dear friend, Anna Riabkova, you’ve seen the best and the worst. Thank you for always putting up with me, offering helpful cheering-up even when I don’t want it, and being there for stress relief and a good meal. To Layla Clarkson, we’ve been through this journey together from writing our master’s applications while our friends were out and about in Durban to our Salt Spring writing retreat to bring this paper to it’s finish line. Thank you for always being there. To my family, you are my reality check to ask me why the heck it is taking me so long to finish this thesis and remind me of all the wonderful things I’ll be able to do with v you in my free time once this project is complete. Thank you for being my encouragement and support from the start to achieve work in a field that I love and is a stable career. Yes, I am finally done, for real. Finally, to my colleagues at TransLink. I met you mid-way into writing this thesis, but the experience I gained internally and the support you have provided to complete this work while working full time has been a blessing. Thank you to all who provided feedback as I troubleshooted various angles to approach this data. It has been a comfort and encouragement to know that I have an audience excited to hear about my work in progress and results. Last and perhaps most importantly, I respectfully acknowledge that Simon Fraser University is located and my study takes place in the unceded traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, who include the xʷməθkʷəy̓ əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱ wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), səl̓ilw̓ ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), sćəwaθən məsteyəxʷ (Tsawwassen), qiqéyt (Qayqayt), SEMYOME (Semiahmoo), and Stó:lō (including q̓ ʷa:ńəƛ̓ ń (Qwantlen/Kwantlen), q̓ íc̓ əy̓ (Katzie), and kʷikʷəƛ̓ əm (Kwikwetlem/Coquitlam)) peoples. My thesis addresses current concerns with housing affordability and household income composition changes over the last 35 years that are concerning for access to transit and areas throughout the region. We should also consider these findings within the deeper, long-standing context of displacement from and access to traditional lands in the region over the last 200 years. vi Table of Contents Approval .......................................................................................................................... ii Abstract .......................................................................................................................... iii Dedication ...................................................................................................................... iv Acknowledgements ......................................................................................................... v Table of Contents .......................................................................................................... vii List of Tables .................................................................................................................. ix List of Figures.................................................................................................................. x List of Acronyms ............................................................................................................. xi Chapter 1.

    ATTACHMENT A Page 1 of 5 November 9, 2010 Mayor Peter Fassbender Chair, Mayors' Council on Regional Transportation c/o City of Langley 20399 Douglas Crescent Langley, BC V3A 4B3 Dear Chair Fassbender, Re: 2011 Supplemental Plans On behalf of the Board of Directors of the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority (TransLink), I am forwarding the two enclosed Transportation and Financial Supplemental Plans for 2011 to 2013, and Outlooks for 2014 to 2020, both approved by the Board, to the Mayors' Council on Regional Transportation. The purpose of presenting these supplemental plans is to provide the region's mayors with an opportunity to exercise their authority under the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority Act to approve one of the options to expand Metro Vancouver's transportation network and confirm it as TransLink's 'base plan' for the next three years. Alternately, the Mayors Council may choose to not approve either of them and maintain the program in the current base plan. Both options include funding for the Evergreen SkyTrain Line connecting the Lougheed and Coquitlam town centres and for an extension of United Boulevard in Coquitlam as the first phase of the North Fraser Perimeter Road goods movement corridor from the Queensborough Bridge in New Westminster to Highway #1. One option, 'Delivering the Evergreen Line and the North Fraser Perimeter Road,' is confined to the two highest priority projects. The other, 'Moving Forward,' proposes additional road and transit improvements across Metro Vancouver, notably in the South of Fraser and North Shore sub-regions. All of these projects have been long-standing priorities and offer enormous benefits to the people of Metro Vancouver.

  • Corporate Report
    CORPORATE REPORT NO: R120 COUNCIL DATE: June 24, 2019 REGULAR COUNCIL TO: Mayor & Council DATE: June 20, 2019 FROM: Acting General Manager, Engineering FILE: 8740-01 SUBJECT: Future of Rapid Transit in Surrey RECOMMENDATION The Engineering Department recommends that Council: 1. Receive this report for information; 2. Endorse the principles attached as Appendix “I” to this report; and 3. Authorize staff to develop a Long-Range Rapid Transit Vision for input into TransLink’s Transport 2050 plan. INTENT The intent of this report is to inform Council on TransLink’s update of the Regional Transportation Strategy (now called Transport 2050), outline recommended principles for future rapid transit expansion in Surrey, and request support from Council for the development of a long-range rapid transit vision for Surrey’s submission to TransLink for inclusion in the Transport 2050 plan development process. BACKGROUND The Success of Previous Regional Transportation Plans Transportation and land use are integrally linked, as demonstrated by Metro Vancouver’s long history of coordinating land use and transportation investments. Many of the first coordinated efforts to integrate transit and land use were identified as part of Metro Vancouver’s (at that time known as Greater Vancouver Regional District or “GVRD”) first “Livable Region Plan” that, in 1975, established an urban land use pattern aimed at focusing growth and development in compact urban centres supported by an integrated, multi-modal transportation network. In 1993, prior to the creation of TransLink, the GVRD prepared “A Long-Range Transportation Plan for Greater Vancouver”, known as Transport 2021. This plan was instrumental in identifying an end-state vision for transportation that included policies and capital improvements aligned with regional land use goals.

    KING GEORGE SKYTRAIN STATION TRANSIT RETAIL IN HIGH DENSITY NODE! 9875 King George Boulevard, Surrey, BC SUMMARY King George Station is located in Surrey along King George Boulevard and moves approximately 20,000 riders daily. As the last station on the Expo Line, King George Station is a critical link to alternate modes of transit that connect north Surrey to the rest of the Fraser Valley. This station has numerous connecting bus routes as well as a Park and Ride that brings users to the Station. King George Station is also the closest SkyTrain stop to the newly expanded/upgraded Surrey Memorial Hospital, the second largest hospital in BC. The immediate neighborhood is characterized by an increasingly dense population, including multiple residential & office high rise buildings immediately adjacent to the station. Immediately south of the station is a new mixed use development (King George Hub) that will include over 2 million square feet of combined retail, residential, and office space that will develop over the coming years. Within this development is the new Coast Capital Savings headquarters, which employs over 700 people. In addition, Park Avenue West has added 424 residential units to the area. The nearby Holland Park hosts major city and community concerts and events, which drives additional traffic for the station.
