West Vancouver, Squamish and Tsleil\u002DWaututh nations, North Van city and district aim to shift 50,000 daily bridge commutes to public transit
This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.It can take an hour by public transit to get from West Vancouver to Capilano University in North Vancouver, although the recent introduction of a rapid-bus lane has helped reduce that commuting time.
Besides rapid transit over Burrard Inlet, the other priorities of the five-member partnership is a secondary east-west connector spanning the Capilano River from Park Royal to West 1st Street, and a study of how to improve the busy Upper Levels corridor along Highway 1 from Lynn Valley Road to Horseshoe Bay., but North Shore officials want a rapid-transit connection — whether it is SkyTrain or something else — much sooner than that.
But the last time the North Shore got a new crossing of Burrard Inlet was when the SeaBus was introduced in 1977. Workday lineups to get onto one of the bridges and off the North Shore begin backing up around 2:30 p.m. “It’s really important that we have this rapid transit line interconnect the different cultural dynamic hubs along the east-to-west corridor in all of North Vancouver, and connect to Metro Vancouver,” saidDennis Thomas, an elected councillor with the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, says proposed rapid transit on the North Shore is an amazing opportunity to connect cultural hubs.
