A new station for the future subway line?

officedweller · Feb 14, 2017

That corner is no longer TransLink's referred site for a station entrance
- so there is speculation about the Scotiabank site on the SW corner (which is now vacant) as well as a mid-block location closer to the hospitals.

Repost from the SSP Broadway Subway thread (February 2016):

The new office building at Oak & Broadway will only have an emergency exit for the future SkyTrain Station.

The presumption is that if the tunnel is under Broadway itself, then the Scotiabank site would seem like the alternate place for a large stationhouse - or it could be at Laurel on Broadway, closer to the hospitals, if the Oak Street bus can still stop in front of the station.

Otherwise, maybe a tunnel under 10th Ave., but that's not quite consistent with this building retaining an emergency exit.

Plans for the building originally called for the inclusion of a station entrance for the Broadway Subway, the future underground extension of SkyTrain’s Millennium Line to Arbutus or as far as UBC. However, according to BlueSky Properties CEO Dale Bosa, those plans have been canceled.

“It’s our understanding that the station has moved and won’t be here on the site, so we don’t know the exact location… we did have some communication with the City of Vancouver that the station will not be on the site now,” Bosa told Vancity Buzz.

He adds that although a large entrance is no longer needed, the building will still provide space for an emergency access into the underground station structure. Some plans for the building are being reworked, mainly with a reconfiguration of the building’s permanent retail space and expansion of the office lobby. Under the originals plans, temporary retail space would have occupied the corner space designated for the station entrance.

Vancity Buzz reached out to the City of Vancouver for comment on the precise station location. The following statement was received from a spokesperson: “The City, in partnership with TransLink, has been working with development projects along the Broadway corridor to secure provisional access to future stations. The primary entrance for the future station near Oak Street is still to be confirmed at a future stage of the project’s design.”
