(Port) Coquitlam Odysseus

The following is a very brief summary of a *late* note I have just sent Translink. I neglected to copy my text, and I don’t have time to write exactly the same words I just sent them. Unfortunately, Translink’s official period of feedback has ended.

Basically, Translink needs to extend the present Millennium line from VCC-Clark to UBC. This is really the only option. Doing this would allow for potentially thousands of UBC students, faculty, and staff to get to the main campus without negatively impacting the traffic on Broadway. It would also help to facilitate the commute of those who come in from the Tri-Cities once the Evergreen Line is completed. Significantly, it would also help to attract riders from the Tri-Cities and get them off the road system. Extending the Skytrain system is the simplest, most elegant, greenest, and most efficient (in terms of road traffic) solution to the problem.
