B.C. Government to Match Federal Funding for Broadway SkyTrain Expansion

With a provincial election looming, the B.C. government is once again coming to the table with additional funding for new transit projects.

This morning the province announced it will match the federal government’s commitment of $2.2 billion over the next 11 years to fund the Broadway SkyTrain extension project and the Surrey LRT plan.

The Broadway SkyTrain extension will extend the Millennium Line from its current VCC endpoint southwest to Broadway and Main, and then west to Arbutus Street.
