TransLink wants to prioritize bus rapid transit from Park Royal to Metrotown, but the routes were up for debate at city council in Burnaby
Burnaby is firmly onboard the “Bus Rapid Transit” train, but city councillors quibbled over route details for the “leading BRT candidate” route from Metrotown to Park Royal in West Vancouver.
While staff recommended a modified route for the Purple Line, councillors were not convinced with it and asked for TransLink to come back with more data and comparisons. TransLink forecasts the Metrotown-Park Royal BRT route would have a daily boarding of 55,000 riders in 2035. The route is prioritized in TransLink's 10-year plan, with construction planned to start in the first five years.The original Purple Line alignment runs down the Second Narrows Bridge from Park Royal, east along Hastings Street, then south down Willingdon Avenue to Metrotown mall.
Coun. Alison Gu amended the resolution to include the original Purple Line route in addition to the new alignment. The amendment passed unanimously. Coun. Pietro Calendino agreed, noting he’d received “a lot” of public feedback expressing surprise at the new alignment.
