I assume it's more placeholder than anything what the final design will look like

I see they're still pushing for a south campus station. I hope they leave the option for a Thunderbird station as well.

Seems pretty optimistic - if there is a Wesbrook station, it's probably right up on 16th next to the roundabout (where the actual bus stops are).

That seems to be where they envision a station according to the diagram.

UBC/the developers envision a station there. There's a lot of buildings in Vancouver that made SkyTrain predictions which didn't come true.

Yes, "they" meaning UBC. What are you arguing?

TransLink may have other plans. The Crossroads building was designed by the literal City of Vancouver to have room for a SkyTrain entrance; now it's more storage space for Whole Foods. This one looks much the same.

Majority are under grads and most are international. That’s where the $$$ are.
