Creating Jobs and Sustainable Transit

Metro Vancouver residents will benefit from the construction of the new Evergreen Transit Line, thanks to a major new job-creating investment from the Government of Canada's Building Canada Fund, announced Prime Minister Harper and Premier Campbell on February 26. The project involves the construction of a new 11- kilometre rapid transit line running from the Lougheed Town Centre in Burnaby to the Coquitlam Town Centre, via Port Moody. The system will use the same technology as the SkyTrain and be fully integrated into the existing system, linking directly to the Millennium Line, with connections to the Expo Line, the new Canada Line, the West Coast Express, and regional bus networks.
