Canada Line
12-11-11

There are a lot of moving parts, but we are definitely trying," said managing director Kirsten Sutton. She echoed VANOCs wish that changing commuter habits during the several weeks of the Olympics may lead to more permanent, non-driving habits. "Theres no value in grumbling. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a green legacy. It can be a catalyst for change," said Ms. Sutton. Traffic will have to cope with hundreds of additional VANOC vehicles and buses on the road, scores of lane closings restricted to Olympic and bus transportation, outright closings of streets close to Games venues and round-the-clock parking restrictions. To help handle the anticipated crush, Translink is adding extra buses, Skytrain cars and a third SeaBus. There is also the recently opened Canada Line between downtown and Richmond, including the airport. As well , the West Coast Express commuter trail is scheduling six additional trips on weekdays, plus new, frequent service on the weekends. There will even be a blast from the past, a streetcar, operating between Granville Island and the Canada Line stop at the Olympic Village. Even if everything goes according to plan, however, and commuters do abandon their vehicles in large numbers, Mr. Bracewell said that anyone travelling anywhere in the city should prepare for a longer journey. "We will be running at peak capacity, like rush hour, for 12 hours a day," he said. "So give yourself more time, and plan ahead. We dont know how much extra time you will need, but we do know it will take longer." With all that, Mr. Bracewell said hes actually enjoying the challenge and remains confident traffic will not be an Olympic headache. "Its dependent on everyone working together, but I fully believe we have a transportation plan that will be successful." Even if it snows. "A very robust snow removal plan is being developed," Mr. Bracewell affirmed, with no apparent lingering concern from last winters heavy snowfalls that clogged city streets for days.
