Broadway Subway - Millennium Line Extension to Arbutus | U/C

[Migrant_Coconut]

It's the City's one big chance to put a TOD village in Point Grey. I doubt they'll pass it up.

Though come to think of it, since TransLink's — off the NIMBYs either way, why not double down and start elevating it at Alma? It's a straight shot west down Broadway, along the golf course to College Highroad and then down Wesbrook Mall to 16th; should save about $70 million extra according to page 136.

MST-DC, the developers of Jericho Lands have said they would like a direct SkyTrain connection to their redevelopment. The Mayor noted in a 2019 Mayor's Council meeting that they had offered the land required for a station on their site. There's a Memorandum of Understanding between the landowners, the City and UBC to service the site with SkyTrain (although I don't think it specified that there will necessarily be a station on site). However, UBC have said "Extending the SkyTrain through the Jericho Lands now jointly owned and being developed by Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations provides a notable step toward reconciliation in BC."

I'd be surprised if there isn't one near Acadia Road or St Anselm's. Lelem's not as dense as Wesbrook, but it's another reconciliation site and definitely big enough to have a station.

I also know someone on a consultation committee of some form (I can't recall its name), but she also said there will be a station at the Jericho Lands.

It's rather amusing to watch the Anti-Skytrain wonks lose their freaking minds these days.

i heard the same thing from someone who knows these things. if i were a betting man, i would bet 100% there will be one somewhere on the lands.

I've also read articles about land being provided for a Jericho station. My guess based on regular spacing would have stops (on Broadway) at Macdonald, Alma, Crown and Blanca Loop. I don't know the UBC lands well enough to guess where they'd put any of those stations, other than it's a fairly straight shot from Blanca to the current UBC Exchange - plus that would give them a lot of room to do a gradual curve if they're going to have another station further down Wesbrook Mall towards W 16th Ave.

It's also a fairly safe bet it'll be tunnelled until at least Blanca, and then it'll depend on the route as to whether it'll be tunnelled or trenched. People on the west side have already made enough of a stink that it'll be easier to have the Skytrain in a tunnel. Yeah they could annoy them for the hell of it but I doubt that'll happen as it's not worth the hassle.

I'd argue for a Sasamat station, that Safeway parking lot is poking out like a giant "flip me" sign. Re: UBC, they need to at least cover the hospital and the bus loop; from there, both Thunderbird Stadium and Wesbrook Village are good targets.

Ironically, Condon, Fitch, Murphy and Johnston have gone uncharacteristically silent...

I think that station makes sense, though I also think Sasamat is a better station location than Bianca. On the other side of station, there will also likely be a station at Acadia Road to serve the planned Musqueam development there.

I think having it be elevated in the median of University Blvd could be feasible, and you could have a sheltered bike line under the viaduct. The question is where would you have it go underground again (if at all).

If the UBC Extension were to go for Blanca Loop, then I suppose the extension's path would probably look like this:

Oh, oh, can I play?

If it does go on University Boulevard, there's a good chance of them trying to save trees and remove car lanes (i.e. a SB alignment).
