SkyTrain Oak-VGH Station design concept, April 2021. (Government of BC)
The only two exceptions are South Granville Station and Great Northern Way-Emily Carr Station.

The five-storey building at South Granville Station is currently being built to accommodate this eventual vertical expansion; there will be six underground levels of parking and an extra elevator core to serve an overhead tower.
