Transit riders face a number of hassles along the way.
Sometimes it’s about elevators and escalators that don’t work.
Mercifully, there will be some relief.
TransLink will replace elevators and escalators at six SkyTrain stations.
New elevators will be installed at the 29
th Avenue, Patterson, Edmonds, Columbia, and Waterfront SkyTrain Stations.
In addition, the escalators at the Commercial-Broadway SkyTrain Station will be replaced.
The elevators and escalators are projected to be operational in 2023.
The project will cost a total of more than $18.4 million, and TransLink has asked for most of the money from the Greater Vancouver Regional Fund.
