About the Event


Please join the Vancouver Branch for an in-person tour of the Broadway Subway Project Site. The City of Vancouver is working with the provincial government as it delivers the Broadway Subway Project, a key investment in the region’s prosperity. The new line will be a tunneled extension of the Millennium Line SkyTrain through the Central Broadway area, BC’s second-largest employment district. The Broadway Corridor is one of North America’s busiest transit thoroughfares. Today, the corridor is served by the 99 B-Line, an express bus service that is already at maximum capacity for much of the day. By extending the SkyTrain network from VCC–Clark Station to Arbutus St, the Broadway Subway will add much-needed people-carrying capacity to this critical corridor. This is a fantastic opportunity to tour the project site and get a first hand look at one of the infrastructure projects in the lower mainland.
