Aside from the gigantic Lansdowne parking lot that peaks at 50-60% capacity, its usually pretty full in most parking lots along the no.3 corridor.

Just to ask, but does the Lansdowne Mall Parking lot have a time limit?

No limits currently, but I believe it would change when Canada Line opens...it would be a nice site for Park And Ride!

The City looks to have narrowed Davie for the crosswalk at the station entrance.

So i've just come to notice something. Taking the skytrain from surrey central to waterfront then once the canada line opens up from waterfront to Richmond - Brighouse would only be at most 10 min more then busing.(well thats given timing is right on both ends)

Best Buy also has a great collection of DVDs (including Blu-ray) and CDs, and they often have great sales prices on even recent releases.

I have a hard time going in the one on Cambie without picking up at least one movie.

(never mind . . . I just realized this note goes with a dated discussion about 3 pages back about why someone would take subway to a Best Buy

That's why the UBC skytrain extension would make so much sense. We transfer at Broadway and ride the line until we hit Canada Line.

I wonder when translink is going to publicize the final Canada line Bus integration plan?

I think that all routes that connect up to suburban Skytrain Stations should have minimum 10 minute headways.

According to the Bus Drivers union website www.morebusesnow.com only 12% of metro Vancouer's bus routes have headways of 10 mins. where as Toronto & Montreal have 58% with those headways.

I wonder what's the value for 15min headways is.. since this is Translink's target.
