LONG-TERM IMPACT Community engagement has played a key role in shaping the Broadway Subway Project. Since the planning phase, public feedback has influenced station designs and construction strategies. “From November 2020 to May 2021, we conducted two rounds of public consultation on station design. We also maintain ongoing engagement with the neighbourhood, ensuring we address concerns and adapt our approach as needed,” says Matthias. Once operational, the Broadway Subway will provide a one-seat ride from Lafarge-Lake Douglas in Coquitlam to Arbutus, significantly improving connectivity across Metro Vancouver. This expansion will ease congestion in other parts of the SkyTrain network, allowing commuters to transfer between the Canada Line and Expo and Millennium Lines along Broadway instead of traveling downtown. The Broadway Subway Project is more than just an infrastructure upgrade—it is a cornerstone of Vancouver’s long-term economic and urban development strategy. By improving transit accessibility, reducing congestion, and supporting business growth, it will drive economic prosperity for decades to come. As Matthias puts it, “This project is a significant investment in Vancouver’s future. It is going to be a meaningful contributor to a more connected, efficient, and sustainable city.” To learn more, please visit www.broadwaysubway.ca 81 JUN 2025 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
