This report on the regional impacts of the new rapid transit Evergreen Line currently under construction in the Tri-Cities of British Columbia was commissioned by the Business Improvement Association of Burnaby Heights, BC.
“When the Evergreen Line opens in the fall of 2016, it will have a dramatic impact on commuting patterns in the Lower Mainland’s northeast sector. The Tri-City area in particularly is bracing for massive change, as the six-stop SkyTrain link connects two previously unserviced municipalities with rapid transit. It is difficult to project exactly what the impact will be on the region as a whole, however one thing is clear: there will be fewer people relying on automobiles as their primary mode of transportation as a result of the Evergreen Line.”
