A series of workshops next week will invite residents to help shape the design of a proposed bus rapid transit system in Vancouver.
Participants will have four chances to weigh in. C-Tran will set up walk-up kiosks over the course of three days in Vancouver:
• 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tuesday at Clark College’s Gaiser Hall, 1933 Fort Vancouver Way.
• 2 to 4 p.m. Wednesday at the Westfield Vancouver mall transit platform, 8700 N.E. Vancouver Mall Drive.
• 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Thursday at the Vancouver Community Library, 901 C St.
• 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday at C-Tran’s administrative offices, 2425 N.E. 65th Ave.
The discussions will focus on the design of the stations planned as part of the new system. C-Tran has proposed building a $53 million bus rapid transit line between the mall and downtown along Vancouver’s Fourth Plain corridor. The system uses larger vehicles, raised boarding platforms and other features.
