Broadway Corridor not a priority for provincial government

By

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – It’s Vancouver’s top transit priority, but now the city has to make sure the Broadway Corridor is on the radar of others.
    
The province, for instance, is nowhere near ready to provide funding for it.
   
Rapid transit along Broadway is key to Vancouver hitting its goal of getting two thirds of city trips being made without a car.
    
BC’s Transportation Minister Mary Polak says the region will need to give Broadway top ranking before the province considers putting up some money. “We know the biggest priority is for the mayors’ council and TransLink to have their priorities lined up for the future and to also solidify with them what their plans are for future funding.”

Polak also notes funding for SkyTrain involves many partners. “Those are projects that are negotiated contributions between all three levels of government, and so it’s far too early to be talking about what kind of a price tag that would look like.”    

Polak includes she has not had any specific discussions about the Broadway Corridor.
