A Catholic elementary school located immediately adjacent to the future Arbutus Station of the SkyTrain Millennium Line Broadway Extension has filed legal action in the Supreme Court of BC against the provincial government.

The school is seeking the implementation of 10 measures entirely funded by the Broadway Subway project, including the installation of a visual barrier around the Arbutus Station construction site, a sound barrier on the south and east sides of the school property facing the station site, and flashing lights at the intersection of West 7th Avenue and Arbutus Street.

Furthermore, they are demanding the monitoring, maintenance, and replacement of the school’s HVAC filters for construction dust, the production of a traffic management plan that provides traffic control personnel to protect students using crosswalks, the diversion of all construction vehicle traffic southbound on Arbutus Street, and the elimination of all construction vehicle traffic on Arbutus Street during the school’s pick-up and drop-off periods in the morning and afternoon..

Sounds like some of this is driven by their opposition to this project
