but thats a long way away. it certainly wont start construction prior to UBCx. and that wont open before, probably, 2033.

I mean, Evergreen wasn't really "needed" either (ridership's pretty low compared to Richmond/Burnaby/New West), but it was more about bringing rapid transit to the NE quadrant. Ditto Purple and the North Shore.

Oh, absolutely not. But it'll likely be next right after UBCx, and likely won't be dependent on a new Second Narrows bridge. After that, practically all of Metro Vancouver is 30-ish minutes or less away from a SkyTrain, and it's just filling in the gaps from there.
