Millennium Line Broadway Extension WELCOME Welcome! MILLENNIUM LINE BROADWAY EXTENSION Over the next 30 years, Metro Vancouver will welcome 1 million new residents and 600,000 new jobs. The Broadway Corridor is home to the second largest employment centre in B.C. and the largest hospital and university in Western Canada. The corridor is home to the 99 B-Line, the busiest bus route in Canada and the United States, and Commercial-Broadway Station, the biggest transit bottleneck in the region. Rapid transit along this busy corridor will ensure that our region stays connected, efficient, and economically strong. The Millennium Line Broadway Extension was prioritized in the 10-Year Vision created by the Metro Vancouver Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation. The Broadway Extension is the City of Vancouver’s number one transportation priority, and one of the most significant infrastructure investments for the region’s future. As a direct extension of the existing Millennium Line SkyTrain service, the Broadway Extension will start at VCC–Clark on an elevated guideway for 800 metres, then travel approximately 5 km beneath Broadway to six new stations, ending at Arbutus Street. PROCESS In fall 2016, the Mayors’ Council approved Phase One of the 10-Year Vision for Metro Vancouver Transit and Transportation, including funding to advance planning and design work for the Broadway Extension. 2016 2017 2018 DEVELOPMENT OF DESIGN PARAMETERS PROCUREMENT & FINAL DESIGN ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIO-ECONOMIC REVIEW WE ARE Public & HERE Stakeholder Inform Engage Close Ongoing Communications Engagement the Loop Engage Inform Identify potential Close the Loop Re-engage on issues and Report back with findings from construction impacts and opportunites related to our studies and listen to ideas mangagement strategies. the Broadway Extension. for mitigating impacts.

  • Skytrain Upgrade Project
    BACKGROUNDER SKYTRAIN UPGRADE PROJECT Upgrades to the existing SkyTrain network are necessary to meet current and future demand, and are a pre-condition for new rapid transit projects WHAT IS THE SKYTRAIN UPGRADE PROJECT? The 2014 Vision for Metro Vancouver Transit and Transportation included analysis and recommendations on the type of investments needed to keep the existing SkyTrain system modern and up to the task of meeting growing demand over the next 30 years. The upgrade project includes: 100 new Mark III SkyTrain cars (28 already funded in Phase One Plan; 72 cars remaining); New storage and maintenance facilities for the new cars Control and power system upgrades to ensure new cars can be operated Station upgrades to improve passenger amenities and access WHY IS THIS UPGRADE PROJECT NEEDED NOW? Current and future ridership will strain the existing system The Expo Line officially launched in 1986 and the Millennium Line opened in 2002. Since then the population and level of employment in the region has grown, and the current capacity of the system is insufficient to meet the demands during period periods. This is resulting in passengers being passed up and crowding on platforms at the busiest stations during peak periods. The recent opening of the Evergreen Extension has resulted in higher ridership and crowding on the system more quickly than anticipated. This is expected to worsen with more people coming to the region, more development near stations, and planned bus expansion in the 10-Year Vision connecting to the SkyTrain system. Previous improvements and investments in the Phase One Plan only meets today’s needs TransLink procured 28 Mark III SkyTrain cars to meet the ridership demand from the Evergreen Extension, and the Phase One Plan of the 10-Year Vision includes 28 additional Mark III cars.

  • Translink Launches Historic New Bus Sevice
    MEDIA RELEASE TransLink launches historic new bus service RapidBus brings faster, more frequent service to eight Metro Vancouver communities January 6, 2020 COQUITLAM, B.C. – TransLink launches RapidBus on four routes – bringing customers up to 20 per cent faster bus service with higher frequencies, fewer stops, dedicated bus lanes, bus priority changes to intersections, and all-door boarding. RapidBus provides a more reliable bus service that can move more than 10,000 people per hour at peak times. The new service is made possible through investments from Phase One of the Mayors’ Vision, the Government of Canada, and the Province of BC. “We’re stepping up our bus game,” says TransLink CEO Kevin Desmond. “RapidBus is a crucial part of improving the region’s bus service through the Mayors’ Vision. These RapidBus routes will benefit eight communities and bring our customers a more reliable bus service that they deserve.” Coming every 10 minutes or better during peak hours and every 15 minutes or better in non-peak hours, customers can now catch a RapidBus on these four routes: • R1 King George Blvd – (Guildford Exchange/Newton Exchange) o Every eight minutes during peak hours • R3 Lougheed Hwy (Coquitlam Central Station/Haney Place) o Every ten minutes during peak hours • R4 41st Ave (UBC/Joyce-Collingwood Station) o Every three to six minutes during peak hours • R5 Hastings St (SFU/Burrard Station) o Every four to five minutes during peak hours RapidBus customers will enjoy new customer amenities such as softer seats, more space on 60-foot articulated buses, real-time digital signage, and audio next-bus information at RapidBus stops.
