Vancouver's Broadway subway project is now under construction, and businesses along the street are hoping they can survive the construction in front of their stores and restaurants to reap the benefits of the transit line's completion.
The construction project will extend the SkyTrain line from VCC–Clark Station to Arbutus Street along Broadway. The project consists of six underground stations. That transit route — one of the busiest in the city — is currently served the by 99 B-Line rapid bus. The line will eventually be extended to the University of British Columbia at a later date.
Catherine Ellsmere, co-owner of Odin Books, says that proximity to bus stops and traffic was one of the reasons she opened her store on the 100 block of East Broadway, near Main Street in Vancouver.
