Starting next week, one of the transit hubs in North Vancouver will look and operate differently.
On Monday, new temporary bus stops will be activated for riders, relocated to nearby streets as the next phase of construction begins at Phibbs Exchange.
“Bus service and the associated bays will be relocated to streets near the existing exchange, specifically along Main, Orwell, and Oxford streets,” TransLink staff said in a release.
“Upon completion of the new Phibbs Exchange in mid-2024, bus stops and bays will be relocated to their permanent positions.”
All bus routes are operating during the construction.
Once completed, TransLink said the new Phibbs Exchange will serve the community better by improving the comfort and safety of passengers, having better integration between the exchange and the neighbourhood, and providing more capacity for future expansions.
New passenger amenities will include digital passenger information displays, new shelters, better signage and bike lockers.
“During construction, signage will be in place directing customers to the temporary bus bays, but customers should plan to give themselves extra time between transfers,” staff said.
