6 The UBC-Broadway Corridor is an important regional destination Trips Destined to the Corridor Vancouver 53% Outside Vancouver 47% Almost half of the trips to the UBC- Broadway Corridor begin outside of Vancouver Source: TransLink UBC Line Rapid Transit Study 2010 Public Consulta1on Materials from Trip Diary 2008

7 Making a decision on the appropriate technology Daily Ridership vs. Peak Load Point Loa on nsi xte ne do To size the system you need to know the demand at the peak load point measured in people per hour per direction (pphpd). k Pea Daily ridership does not help you size the system.

8 Peak Capacity and System Choice for Broadway Peak capacity on Broadway (pphpd): Heavy Rail up to 50,000 SkyTrain up to 26,000 At-grade Light Rail Transit (LRT) up to 7,200* Rapid Bus (BRT) up to 3,000 * Maximum capacity limited by the length of blocks along Broadway

9 What do we mean by LRT? LRT Streetcar Derrick Coetzee: Portland NeiTech: Portland

10 Best practices to size the system At peak load point Best Practice: Design rail transit to accommodate 3 times mature demand People per hour per direction (pphpd) 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5, x 3x 3x Expo Line Canada Line Broadway Subway >2x Broadway LRT Maximum Capacity Peak Load - Opening Day Source: SDG (for TransLink): UBC Line Rapid Transit Study, Phase 2 Final Evalua1on Report, Aug p.62-63

17 A SkyTrain extension is the best choice for Broadway

18 A Broadway SkyTrain extension to Arbutus creates a better, more integrated rapid transit network A Broadway SkyTrain extension to Arbutus connects the Evergreen/ Millennium Line seamlessly to the Canada Line which: Creates an alternate route to Downtown 4 Improves regional connections to YVR and Richmond City Centre Frees additional capacity on the busiest part of the Expo Line Reduces transfers at Commercial-Broadway Station by over 5,000/ hour

19 There are no comparable LRT systems in the world that will work for Broadway There are NO examples of on-street LRT Systems anywhere in the world that offer comparable speed, reliability, and capacity needed on Broadway.

20 Mayors Council Referendum (plebiscite) Question: Do you support a new 0.5% Metro Vancouver Congestion Improvement Tax, to be dedicated to the Mayors Transportation and Transit Plan? Mail-in ballots sent out beginning March 16, Voting period ends May 29, Tax would raise $250m/year Source: Bri1sh Columbia News Room, <newsroom.gov.bc.ca>

21 Thank you

22 At-grade LRT would not fit in Broadway SkyTrain in a tunnel In-street LRT Show trolley overhead. Show trolley overhead. Consider plan or 3D drawing that corresponds. Broadway s right-of-way is as narrow as 86 feet. This is too tight to add at-grade LRT without removing sidewalk width, vehicle lanes or parking.
