Goals: - Realistic integration of congested/growing regions like Surrey and the North Shore - Provide more 0- or 1-transfer rail connections outside of the core to reduce congestion, to shorten trips, and to account for diverse travel patterns - Relieve Expo and Canada lines congestion and better utilize the Millennium line as a regional connector - Connect to most major post-secondary education institutes, health care facilities, and commercial/employment centres - Bus emphasis to fill gaps cost effectively - Key interchanges: - Vancouver - Vancouver City Centre/Waterfront: connections to the North Shore, Expo/Canada lines, and Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal - Broadway-City Hall: Millennium-Canada line interchange to connect Downtown/Richmond/YVR with UBC/Tri-Cities/South Surrey - Commercial-Broadway: Expo-Millennium line interchange to connect Downtown/SoF with UBC/Tri-Cities/South Surrey and R5/R9 access to SFU, Fairview, South Vancouver, and Richmond - Surrey - Surrey Central/King George: triangle transfer with Surrey Central North, Surrey Central South, and King George station between R1, Expo line, and Millennium line - South Westminster: Bridgeview and Scott Road stations connect Expo/Millennium lines with Perimeter Express and R6 - Langley - Langley City Centre: Expo line connections with R7/R8 to South Surrey, Campbell Heights, Maple Ridge, and Carvolth - Richmond - Bridgeport: regional link for Tsawwassen, Surrey, and North Langley to YVR via the Canada line and R9 access to East Richmond industrial areas and East Van - Burnaby - Metrotown: Inlet-Expo line interchange to connect Downtown/SoF with North Shore/Kerrisdale - Brentwood: Inlet-Millennium line interchange to connect UBC/Tri-Cities/South Surrey with North Shore/Kerrisdale - Coquitlam - Lougheed area: Connections to Expo/Millennium lines, Uptown New Westminster, South Vancouver, and to the Fraser Valley Express, as well as nearby SFU Gondola access - Tri-Cities/St. John's/Barnet Highway: Connects the Millennium line with the West Coast Express and to Maple Ridge via R3 --- Plan: SkyTrain network in 2024: 79.6 km, 53 stations SkyTrain network in 2029 with current Broadway, Langley, and Capstan projects: 101.3 km, 67 stations SkyTrain network with expansion as below: 142.5 km, 88 stations Expansion projects (41.2 km of new SkyTrain, 21 new stations): 1. Millennium line: Extension from Arbutus to UBC (7.2 km, 4 stations, 10 min) - Provides fast regional link to major destination UBC and major new West Side developments like Jericho 2. SFU Gondola from Production Way-University to SFU (2.8 km, 1 station, 8 min, interchanges at Production Way-University) - Fast, reliable, cheap connection between major destination SFU and 2 SkyTrain lines - Reduce uphill bus usage that results in faster wear and is subject to weather 3. Inlet line from Park Royal to Metrotown (19 km, 9 stations, 25 min, interchanges at Brentwood and Metrotown) - Reduces congestion for North Shore commuters with a connection to other lines outside of the city centre - Adds North Shore and BCIT to the SkyTrain network 4. Millennium line: Branch from Lougheed to Newton (15 km, 7 stations, 19 min, interchange at King George) - Provides central Surrey with direct access to the Vancouver core and UBC - Adds Coquitlam centres of Maillardville and Fraser Mills to the network - Provides South of Fraser relief/redundancy for overcrowded Expo line - Fewer transfers from Surrey to SFU/Tri-Cities 5. ExpressBus regional network: - Fraser Valley Express (Lougheed-Chilliwack): - Re-branding and frequency improvements for the 66 FVX route to connect Lougheed Town Centre station with Abbotsford and Chilliwack - Horseshoe Bay Express (Vancouver-Horseshoe Bay): - Re-branding and frequency improvements for the 257 Horseshoe Bay route to connect Vancouver CBD with the North Shore and the Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal with possible extension to Squamish (Sea-to-Sky Express) - Perimeter Express (Tsawwassen-South Westminster): - Connects South Delta and the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal with industrial areas along Highway 17 and to the Expo and Millennium lines in North Surrey - Serpentine Express (Bridgeport-South Surrey): - Re-branding and frequency improvements for the 351 White Rock Centre route to connect South Surrey station on the Millennium line with Bridgeport station on the Canada line - Terminal Express (Bridgeport-Tsawwassen): - Re-branding and frequency improvements for the 620 Tsawwassen route to connect South Delta and the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal with Bridgeport station on the Canada line 6. RapidBus changes: - RapidBus R1 (Surrey Central-Fraser Heights): - Extension from Guildford Town Centre to Fraser Heights to enable connections with regional services at Hwy 1 - Shortening Newton leg to account for Millennium line Surrey branch - RapidBus R2 (Lower Lonsdale-Upper Lonsdale): - Re-routing from Lower Lonsdale station to Upper Lonsdale area to provide N-S axis to the North Shore and to account for the W-E axis coverage of the Inlet line - RapidBus R4 (BCIT-UBC): - Extension from Joyce-Collingwood station to BCIT station to provide access to the Inlet line, Burnaby Hospital, and Discovery Park tech area - RapidBus R5 (West End-SFU): - Extension from Burrard station down Burrard/Davie to English Bay to provide access to the West End - RapidBus R6 (Bridgeview-Langley Memorial Hospital): - Extension from Scott Road station to Bridgeview station to provide North Delta with a northern Millennium line link - Extension from Newton to Sullivan/Cloverdale to provide a W-E axis in central Surrey/Langley - RapidBus R7 (Maple Ridge-Langley): - New service from Maple Ridge to Langley to provide a N-S axis between Maple Ridge and Langley commercial and industrial areas - RapidBus R8 (Newton-White Rock): - New service from Newton to White Rock down King George Boulevard to provide South Surrey with access to SkyTrain and to link with ExpressBus service to Richmond - RapidBus R9 (Steveston-Richmond Centre): - New service from Steveston to Richmond Centre to provide rapid transit access to southern Richmond communities - RapidBus R10 (Marine Drive-Austin Heights): - New service from Marine Drive station to Austin Heights to connect South Vancouver, the River District, Big Bend, Uptown New Westminster, and Coquitlam to provide service to places nearby SkyTrain but underserved by direct transit and provide a link further out of the metro core
