4.1. Downtown New Westminster Understanding development patterns around the 22nd Street and New Westminster SkyTrain Stations by Jonathan X. Cote B.A., Simon Fraser University, 2002 Research Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Urban Studies in the Urban Studies Program Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Jonathan X. Cote 2014 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Fall 2014 Approval Name: Jonathan Cote Degree: Master of Urban Studies Title: Understanding development patterns around the 22nd Street and New Westminster SkyTrain Stations Examining Committee: Chair: Karen Ferguson Professor Urban Studies Program and Department of History Anthony Perl Senior Supervisor Professor Urban Studies Program and Department of Political Science Patrick J. Smith Supervisor Professor Urban Studies Program and Department of Political Science Clive Rock External Examiner Principal, Silex Consulting Date Defended/Approved: September 4, 2014 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Ethics Statement iv Abstract The introduction of SkyTrain into the Greater Vancouver Area has had a significant impact on the land use patterns in the region. However, development patterns have been uneven and have varied from station to station. Some neighbourhoods have intensified and diversified their land uses, while others have only changed minimally since the introduction of rapid transit. This project examines the factors that have influenced the development patterns around the 22nd Street and New Westminster SkyTrain Stations. The intent of the research project is to determine why some places in the Greater Vancouver area have intensified and diversified their lands uses since the introduction of rapid transit while others have not. Nine factors (Land Use Planning, Catalyst Developer, Availability of Developable Land, Community Prioritization, Neighbourhood Perception, Neighbourhood Characteristics, Public Investment, Public Resistance to Land Use Change and Road Infrastructure) have been identified in this research project that have influenced and shaped the development patterns around the New Westminster and 22nd Street SkyTrain Stations. Understanding these factors and the relationships between them will help assist municipal planner and leaders to better understand the processes that influence land use changes around rapid transit stations.

    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.

    Household income composition changes with rapid transit implementation: A natural experiment study of SkyTrain, Metro Vancouver, 1981-2016 by Danielle N. DeVries B.Sc. (Hons., Health Sciences), Simon Fraser University, 2016 Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Urban Studies in the Urban Studies Program Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Danielle N.

Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Danielle N. 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.

  • 1 Don Bellamy's Rapid Transit Solution (BC Electric Railway Motorman, Retired)
    Don Bellamy’s Rapid Transit Solution (BC Electric Railway Motorman, Retired) “Restore THE POWER OF streetcars NOW” Simple solutions that are based on common sense usually have the greatest impact on society. As is often the case, people with practical experience often have a better understanding of the problem, and can see the most efficient, cost effective solutions first. I spoke with Don Bellamy (former Vancouver City Councilor, Police Officer, and BC Electric Railway Motorman) in July 2008, and his solution is the most efficient and financially viable that I have heard, seen or read about. First let’s get a global perspective. In “The Power of Community – How Cuba Survived Peak Oil” viewers see Americans visiting Cuba in 2006 to learn what Peak Oil really means. When Russia fell in 1991, Cuba lost over 50% of its oil imports from 13-14 million tons down to 4 million tons. While cars produce pollution, buildings and homes consume 40% of world energy and produce 50% of all greenhouse gases. “OIL” Energy is needed for elevators, water supply, heating / cooling, lighting, cooking and food storage, making high rise residential buildings unsustainable. Oil is needed for computers, cosmetics, and plastics. Cubans call the transition to life without Oil the “Special Period”. It took 5 years before the pesticide contaminated soil could be brought back to life with composting. Without the OIL based fertilizers (21,000 tons in 1988 to 1,000 tons in 2006) that produced the 1920’s Green Revolution farm food production increase and oil based pesticides needed to reduce pests associated with mono-agriculture, Cuba had to choose Organic farming.
