The upgrades include two new escalators, a street-level elevator, three new fare gates, two upgraded stairwells, lighting, and an expanded mezzanine. Additionally, TransLink states that the station also has “new permanent way finding to direct customers, including additional maps and transit information panels.”
In total, the investment for the project is $32 million and is part of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program, or ICIP. Funds came from both the Government of Canada and TransLink.
