Outside City jurisdiction. Improved transit options for the Sea-to-Sky route would be most welcome, but from a city and regional perspective, other routes have a higher priority (e.g. Broadway Corridor rapid transit).

Build an underground UBC Line SkyTrain along the Broadway corridor that connects with the existing V
29 votesTransLink is currently leading a study to determine the best approach to deliver high-capacity, fast, frequent, and reliable rapid transit for the Broadway Corridor from Commercial Drive to UBC. A number of technologies and alignment options are being considered, including rail rapid transit (e.g. SkyTrain), surface light rail transit, and bus rapid transit.
The City of Vancouver is directly involved as a partner agency in the study. In April 2010, City Council endorsed ten principles to guide City input into this process (http://vancouver/ubcline/principles).

Requires support from TransLink. The City will continue to support this idea, through measures including secured rights-of-way (e.g. the centre median on 1st Avenue near the Olympic Village). The recent Olympic Line streetcar demonstration was very successful and helps make the business case for this project.
An error occurred while saving the comment Matt commentedAs long as we remember we're not replacing trolley bus routes with streetcars. Why pay to replace one existing electric vehicle with another? The downtown streetcar as envisioned by the existing City proposal would do a great job augmenting the existing transit network rather than replacing. Expanding it to areas which are under served by growing rapidly.
