  • 1 the Phibbs Bus Exchange Redesign
    The Phibbs Bus Exchange Redesign: From Concrete and Asphalt to Raingardens and Bridges! Michelle Babiuk, Project Manager, Infrastructure and Network Management, TransLink Bernard Abelson, Transportation Planning Business Sector Lead, McElhanney (previously CH2M HILL) Paper prepared for presentation at the session: What are Transit-Supportive Environments? Innovative Indicators and Methodologies to Evaluate Transit Supportiveness of the 2016 Conference of the Transportation Association of Canada Toronto, ON 1 Abstract The Phibbs Exchange is a major bus Exchange located at the northern foot of the Second Narrows Bridge on the TransCanada Highway in the District of North Vancouver (DoNV). It serves 18 bus routes and 15,700 daily passenger trips. The Exchange provides connections between buses running to East Vancouver and Burnaby, and across the North Shore. Due to its poor passenger environment and its existing and long-term operational and capacity deficiencies, the Exchange was identified as a priority for upgrade in TransLink’s North Shore Area Transit Plan (NSATP), as well as DoNV’s Lower Lynn Transportation Strategy and Master Transportation Plan. The Exchange has a number of safety and operational deficiencies and challenges, exacerbated by the following: • Capacity - The Exchange does not have enough bus bays to accommodate the current bus services that operate at the Exchange, resulting in buses double-parking in bays. • Transit Circulation – The current transit circulation result in numerous conflict points and unsafe conditions for pedestrians, passengers, operators and cyclists. • Passenger Environment - Phibbs Exchange has long been perceived by passengers as unsafe and unwelcoming. This is partly due to the Exchange’s configuration which locates passenger areas on an island separated from the adjoining neighbourhood by bus drive aisles and a Highway 1 off-ramp.
