About two weeks ago, TransLink launched an online public consultation inviting the general public to submit their wish list for new and improved passenger amenities and services.
Now that the survey‘s open period is reaching its halfway point, with approximately two weeks to go until the consultation ends, the introduction of public washrooms onto the public transit network is the most common request to date. At the time of writing, roughly 10% of over 200 ideas submissions related to “washrooms” or “bathrooms.”
“These could be washrooms with on-site attendants (as seen in Europe) to deal with concerns about public safety, cleanliness or vandalism. As people’s transit commutes grow ever longer and the population ages, for the sake of public hygiene and to address human physical needs, this must happen,” reads one submission.

Best Buy will occupy the top five floors about 77,500 sq ft of the 177,500-sq-ft office space being built. This completely replaces the company’s sprawling business park office campus at 8800 Glenlyon Parkway in the Big Bend industrial area of South Burnaby, where the company has occupied about 140,000 sq ft of space for the past 25 years.
