Broadway - City Hall Station

One of the neatest stations on the Canada Line, located on the south east corner of Broadway and Cambie. It makes the best use of the rise in ground level by providing a longish but stepless approach to the passage over the tracks. The eastbound #99B Line bus stop has been conveniently relocated to the station forecourt. This makes transfers between the Canada Line and the SkyTrain at Broadway and Commercial easy and quicker than going downtown.

 

The connection from the westbound B Line is something else. Two major roads to cross. Additional entrances are not going to be added when Broadway subway opens but the transfers will be underground. stephenrees.blog/2019/09/23/broadway-at-cambie/

 

The tasteful simplicity of the structure is quite pleasing. The City owns the site and of course the air rights and the design permits a larger building around and above it. That hasn't happened in the last ten years, but it might.
