F09 Southwest Area Transport Plan.Pdf The Corporation of Delta COUNCIL REPORT F.09 Regular Meeting To: Mayor and Council File No.: 1240-20/TLlSATP From: Engineering Department Date: June 26, 2017 Southwest Area Transport Plan The following report has been reviewed and endorsed by the Chief Administrative Officer. • RECOMMENDATIONS: A. THAT TransLink ensure express bus service frequency and coverage for Tsawwassen be maintained and improved upon. B. THAT TransLink review options to continue service to the Holly Park area of Ladner. C. THAT TransLink review options to improve parking availability at Scott Road Station and improve customer amenities at Bridgeport Station. D. THAT staff send a copy of this report to TransLink. • PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to provide Council with comments on the draft TransLink Southwest Area Transport Plan (the "Plan"). • BACKGROUND: TransLink has recently completed public consultation on the draft Plan (Attachment A) to identify future transit and other transportation related priorities for Delta, Richmond and Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN). These.are part of the overall regional transit network upgrades being contemplated (Attachment B). • DISCUSSION: North Delta (Attachment C) During Phase Two of the current 1O-year Vision, a new B-Line express service is scheduled to be introduced along Scott Road from Scottsdale Exchange to Scott Road Station that will provide a bus every 5 to 7 minutes along Scott Road during peak hours. A new 640 Express service would run from Scott Road Station via Tilbury, Highway 99, Ladner Exchange along Highway 17A to the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal, while the Page 2 of 3 Southwest Area Transport Plan 1240-20/TLlSATP June 26, 2017 existing 640 service will be maintained all day, every day to serve the Tilbury Industrial Area. The 104 service to Annacis Island will see extended service coverage to the western tip of Annacis Island to provide service for users working at the west end of the island and will become an all-day service to 22 Street Station. A future community shuttle service for the Sunshine Hills neighbourhood linked to the Scottsdale Exchange is being considered to be provided during Phase Two of the current 1O-year Vision. Staff has brought to TransLink's attention, parking availability issues at the Scott Road Park and Ride in Surrey, a key connection point to the Expo Line, which often reaches capacity during weekdays. South Delta (Attachment D) The Plan provides an all-day frequent transit service connecting Tsawwassen Town Centre, the TFN community, Ladner Village and the Canada Line such that during the morning commute, a service' as frequent as every 6 to 7 minutes will be available along 56 Street from the Tsawwassen Town Centre. During off-peak periods, with a proposed 80% increase in bus service, bus frequency will be 12 to 15 minutes every day of the week. The 601 will become part of the Frequent Transit Network by increasing in frequency to provide better service to Tsawwassen, TFN and Ladner. The routing of the bus through TFN will be moved to Salish Sea Drive to provide service coverage to the Mall and TFN residents. ! .1 However, significant community concerns have been expressed regarding the •i- reconfiguration of the express bus service (Attachment D) from Tsawwassen to I· Bridgeport Station that would result in the service being consolidated into the 603 and f 604 with the proposed discontinuance of the 602. TransLink has advised that the I express bus capacity using Highway 17 A out of Tsawwassen would be the same or better than today but was not supported by the information on their website. Staff has asked that TransLink clarify how they can meet their commitment to the public and they have advised that they are reviewing all the feedback received, in particular on the proposed discontinuation of the 602 service, and will be coming forward in the fall with a revised draft Plan (Attachment E). Community shuttle service in South Delta is also proposed to change in the Plan. The C89 serving the Boundary Bay neighbourhood will be extended into the morning peak hours to provide service previously provided for by the 601. As well, due to low ridership numbers, TransLink is proposing to eliminate the C87 through east Ladner. Commuters will then have to walk to Ladner Trunk Road to catch the C76 or use services along Highway 17 A or those from the Ladner Exchange. This will impact residents of the Holly Park area and it is recommended that TransLink look at continued provision of service to this area. Page 3 of 3 Southwest Area Transport Plan 1240-201TLISATP June 26, 2017 With Bridgeport Station as the terminus point for most trips from South Delta, transit users would like to see improved washroom and station amenities at Bridgeport Station in order to enhance the customer experience. As part of the improvements to Highway 99 within the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project, two new transit stops will be added to the Frequent Transit Network on the Delta and Richmond approaches to the proposed bridge. The Delta stop will be a future connection point between the 640 Express and the 351 , 352 and 354 between South Surrey and Bridgeport Station, as well as to the 601, 603 and 604 to Tsawwassen and to the 606,608 and C88 in Ladner. These stops will be functional on completion of the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project. Implications: Financial Implications - There are no direct financial implications to Delta with the implementation of the Plan by TransLink. • CONCLUSION: TransLink has completed public consultation on the draft Southwest Area Transport Plan. Significant service level improvements on many routes are contemplated, including the inclusion of the 601 in the Frequent Transit Network and establishing a B- . line service on Scott Road . However, significant community concerns have been raised regarding the discontinuation of the 602. TransLink has committed to reviewing the public feedback and the concerns around maintaining an express bus service for Tsawwassen, and will be coming forward with a revised draft Southwest Area Transport Plan in fa.

The SWATP involves a review of everything from transit service and infrastructure, to opportunities to improve cycling, walking, and driving. We have recently completed a second phase of community engagement and will be working through the summer to compile all the results of what we heard, then using that input to improve and adapt the proposals. We anticipate reporting back to the community and all local Councils this fall on how we've used the input received to improve the proposals and identify local priorities for investment.

  • 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.

    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.

Sent: Monday, December 13, 2010 8:16 PM To: Mayor & Council Subject: Translink lets us down - again Are you aware that Translink has just reduced bus service to South Delta? Once again South Delta has been screwed by Translink? J ~ Their PR spin would have us believe that they are bringing service improvements - not true. <...:' w They are cutting service on 602 603 and 404 (see _~www.translink.ca/en/Schedules-and­ W M Maps/Transit-Service-ChaD.~ms - but do not look for Delta, we do not exist and are listed under ":t Richmond) . End result - people who were forced to USe Canada line when they eliminated our bus into Vancou ver now ha ve to wait even longer at Bridgeport in the afternoon for a bu s back to South Delta. Not only that but with fewer busses it is not always possible to get on the first bus, and if you can get on you are crammed in like sardines. Well done Translink - guess they actually want us to use our private vehir: !es, siilCe their private partner operator for Canada Line is rno king nruch more money than estimated. It is time that Delta Co unCil final!y said - enough is enough. We need to se e improved service to South Delta in exchange for all til e levies and ta>:e.s that they keep taking out of our pockets.

This work may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without permission of the author. APPROVAL Name: Niko Vujevic Degree: Master of Urban Studies Title of Thesis: Population Demographics and Transit use Patterns in Urban Areas Adjacent to SkyTrain Lines Examining Committee: Chair: Dr. Patrick Smith _______________________________________ Dr. Peter Hall Senior Supervisor Assistant Professor, Urban Studies Program ______________________________________ Dr. Meg Holden Supervisor Assistant Professor, Urban Studies Program ______________________________________ Dr. Len Evenden Examiner Professor, Department of Geography Date Defended/Approved: November 30, 2009 ii ABSTRACT The SkyTrain system has been in operation in Metro Vancouver since 1986 when the Expo Line was opened. The Millennium Line was opened in 2002. The two transit lines have been used by the municipalities to encourage high density developments near the stations. The study examined whether there were significant differences in terms of neighbourhood design, density, diversity and demographics within 400 and 1,500m capture zones from stations. Data was compared on a regional and local level. The 1996, 2001 and 2006 Census data was analysed to find out how the neighbourhoods changed over a decade. The data indicates that the Expo Line neighbourhoods have a well established transit ridership base and much higher densities than the Millennium Line neighbourhoods or the wider Metro Vancouver area.
