Got to bump this again with more of Translink's AWESOME ideas:

15-month renovation project

TransLink is considering closing Metrotown SkyTrain Station for a 15-month renovation project because the station is due for an upgrade, starting in 2014. It’s going to be a big project and the options under consideration are the 15-month renovation project or one that would involve 28 months of construction.

This is the cheaper option; however, Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan says the cheaper alternative may not be the better choice.

“I think our community is going to react fairly negatively to that kind of impact on a transit station that is taking the most passengers in our city,” Corrigan states.

TransLink employee Jennifer Siddon says no final decision has been made about the renovation project.

Siddon says, ” We are just beginning the discussions with our stakeholders, including the City of Burnaby about how best to proceed with this important upgrade project.”

She says safety during the upgrades will be the top priority.

If Metrotown Skytrain Station is closed, a temporary station would be built nearby.
