The Broadway Subway - Canada's Largest Transport Project

Impressive, isn't this just what Vancouver needs?

only in North America do ppl call a 6km extension to a medium-capacity metro line a "MEGAproject" lmao, it doesn't even have that many engineering challenges, going about in a straight corridor and have almost complete access to cut-and-cover open air station job sites. The most commendable thing imo is how the stations will incorporate future development on top of entrances which is a very good move

This video reeks of an AI written script, the choice of words to describe certain things of this project is sometimes misleading as well as a basic reading of facts, there's no thought or commentary provided. The visuals look great, but only because I know so much about the project already and can discern what's real and what may be fabricated. Def not a mega-project, big and important for the city, but technically just a basic extension, that's all.

Trains are cool. We like trains.

Here in Toronto where just Waiting for the Eglinton Crosstowne to Be Finally Open. It was suppose to be in Service in 2020 and Now it 2024 possible it will Not Open Indefinitely this Project has has been Taking Way Too Long to be in Service. The 32 Eglinton West & 34 Eglinton East Routes are Struggling to keep with the Demand and the Capacity.

Lots of hyperbole throughout the video. The descriptions are overreaching at times. Better to watch a more nuanced video from Reece Martin or the construction update videos from Steiner

Thanks for posting this. Living 2 blocks from the future Mt Pleasant Station it has been amazing to see these deep tunnels and stations proceeding smoothly with such minimal disruption to us. And still on budget!

6 KM is nothing. The city must expand to At least 50 Km to make a impact to Vancouver population

Have you done Toronto massive transit projects? Bloor subway, young subway extensions, Eglington West extension, GO Transit converting from commuter to subway frequencies and electrification?

I like trains.

Not the Largest, The largest is Toronto's Ontario Line, 15.6km of all new fully automated subway with 2 regional rail connections, one needs a rebuild the other is a new build, it will connect with 3 other subway lines in 4 places and is far more complicated, longer and costly

In a way I am happy I was forced out of my high rise in Burnaby near Lougheed Mall. I am now renting a much larger basement suite on an acreage in east Maple Ridge. in a home owned by one of my best friends. The housing co-op I was in faced an uncertain future and after 12 years there I gave up the friends I made there and instead I do have less human interaction. Now wen I drive to downtown Vancouver every few months, I barely recognize the place. I would be there every weekend in the 80s but now I only go someplace every week or two. Mostly to downtown Maple Ridge or even Mission as they seem to have most all what I need.

Omg that’s adorable slayyy (I’m from Seattle)

Mumbai, one of the biggest mega cities is building about half a dozen metro lines at the same time. This is shameful.

A post car perfect city,?!! Are u joking? 80% is zoned for sfh.

This is nowhere near Canada's largest transport project lol

Ok this is…puzzling. “With its natural barriers, Vancouver can’t sprawl outwards, forcing people further and further from job centers. Actually WTF is this logic? Think about it. If you CAN’T sprawl outwards and the city is forced to density, you’re CLOSER to more jobs and have a much shorter commute to any job in the city!

There is so much disinformation in this video. Vancouver does, indeed, have a world class downtown area. However, the population of Vancouver in 2021 was 662,248. It is not along the U.S. border, the city of Richmond is. The city of Vancouver is surrounded by the Pacific ocean, the city of Richmond, and the city of Burnaby. All the cities in the surrounding area are not part of the city of Vancouver, they are municipalities in their own right, with mayors, city councils, fire departments, policing and city works of their own. The city of Vancouver, in 2021, was the 8th largest municipality in Canada by population. It could very well be the ninth now, possibly eclipsed by Brampton, Ontario.Of the top ten municipalities in Canada in 2024, 4 are in Ontario, one is in Manitoba, 2 are in Alberta, and 3 are in BC.

Last time I looked, Vancouver is in Canada. Therefore, It’s not in the Pacific North West. It’s actually the South Coast or West Coast. Prince Rupert is our Pacific NorthWest city.
