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
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. -
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. -
