sales per square foot.
Lansdowne pre-lockdown got "over" $700/sq ft while
Guildford, Metrotown, Park Royal and Pacific Centre were at $906, $1,042, $1,342 and $1,865 respectively. So yes, Guildford is closer to Lansdowne than PR or Pacific - not great, not terrible. I'll concede Metrotown.
As part of a hypothetical Newton-Guildford Line that's not part of the Expo, obviously. Point is, all the R6 ridership is between Newton and Scottsdale; the rest of a SkyTrain line would pretty much sit empty.
50k more people, from a metric standpoint, works out to 100k more potential daily boardings. And since Port Coq's getting a SkyTrain as well, it's really more like
116k more people than Ridge Meadows, as well as 60k more homes and 68k more jobs.
You're the one saying Scott Road and Maple Ridge should be getting priority ahead of North Van or the process is biased. Not me.
