On November 24th, TransLink shared that the Mayors’ Council has identified the first three Bus Rapid Transit priority corridors to advance to further planning, engagement, and implementation. These three corridors include King George Boulevard, Langley-Haney Place, and Metrotown-North Shore.

The three corridors were selected based on their potential to maximize outcomes for the region (including their potential to increase ridership and improve access), future housing and development growth projections, the feasibility of implementing new transit priority infrastructure, and early support from local governments to implement infrastructure changes in their communities. The specific alignment, roadway designs, associated costs, and timelines have not yet been determined for each of the three corridors.

TransLink and local government partners will immediately begin work to develop concept designs and engage with the public on these three corridors. As these projects are currently unfunded, a business case will be developed for each corridor to be included in a future update to the Investment Plan.
