Interesting. Thanks!

If the image is to scale, I measured it to be approximately a 37% increase in platform length. Should make a pretty big difference.

From 40m to 50m.

One down, 15 to go?

They probably want surge space at the transfer stations.

A few of the other stations are already 50m. Capstan for sure was.

Is that station getting capacity upgrades for the faregates?

Although potentially the traffic will be similar as so many people go in/out to transfer to E-W bus service.

I don't think so, but the expectation is that most of the transfers will be happening within the station (inside the fare-paid zone), and there will actually be fewer transfers at street level due to the 99 being replaced.

^^ Maybe once they add a secondary entrance for the civic district.

Is that definitely in the cards? Where's that going?

I seem to recall that Translink was making the case that there will actually be fewer people entering/leaving the station because the 99 transfer will turn into a Millennium Line transfer which will stay within the station. Thus there would be no faregate capacity upgrades.

Haven't seen that map before. Thanks Jolly.

Roof slab for this section of the Canada Line SB platform direct connection looks complete.

They just started backfilling the east side of Broadway City hall yesterday. The part where the crossover. Caught the first couple trucks unloading.

That hopefully means you have a new video in the works, looking forward to it!

From the Project twitter Nov 6th:

Closer to the surface than Arbutus.


Here at South Granville Station, crews have completed the underground roof of the station.
Four of the six underground station roofs on the Broadway Subway Project are now complete!

What’s going on with that former gas station. It’s been fenced off for over 5 years now
