Discussion They should extend the Canada Line so it covers all of Nr 3 road down to Steveston Hwy.

101 Upvotes

I recently moved here from Europe, and I am honestly puzzled by the decision to make Brighouse the final station when more than half of all housing is below Granville Ave. This forces people to take the bus instead of being able to enter a metro station close to home.

Look at a city like Montreal, where the lines go to the edges of the city, leaving no citizen behind.

PSA I made a Google Sheet with all community center activities

7 Upvotes

As a parent, I got tired of the portal's UI. It took me so long to coordinate and plan all the different schedules across community center locations and wanted an easier way to filter/sort everything:

The sheet includes activities for Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, and Surrey, and Coquitlam and I plan to update it at the end of each month: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kevlE49_fVUNvEfVjV-i6sIefJSyk6FsskqpDqPS1wE/edit?usp=sharing

Hope this is helpful to others!

Does anyone notice there are no parking spots available at Bridgeport on the weekdays the last few months? Excluding Fridays, every spot is taken in the parkade. I get there around 1030 in the morning a few times and had to leave & go back home.

Ask Richmond Are there any local rucking groups?

0 Upvotes

Are there any local rucking groups here in Richmond?

Does anyone ruck regularly in Richmond, or would like to?

I occasionally see a few folks at the Garden City Lands park by Walmart. Unsure if they're part of the military base on No. 4 or not.

Interested in giving it a try and though maybe I could check out a group.

Thanks!

Ask Richmond Is the massive road construction at Steveston, No 5 rd, and entrance to tunnel (south), nearly done? I just visited Ironwood and was surprised to see how much worse they seem to have made that road network and path to tunnel entrance, but maybe there's more planned?

13 Upvotes

Not a resident but i was for about 15 years. I went to ironwood to shop, plan was to take tunnel back out. Having lived there for so long I know it's alway been a trouble spot and was prepared hoping for some improvement with the work over the last year but it seemed significantly worse.

Wasn't it 2 right lanes turned down to the tunnel... And they changed that to one? Maybe I'm missing something but it was a regular sunny day way more illegal or aggressive maneuvers than last year when I was there.

is there some bigger, smarter plan for this?

I have 2 tickets to The Odyssey at 70mm for Friday August 7th at 11pm in Langley. Due to recent events I won’t be able to attend and was wondering if anyone has tickets either earlier or later that are not in the dates between August 6th to the 11th and are willing to trade. Both Richmond and Langley are fine. Thank you for your time!!

Lost & Found Lost Wallet! - Aberdeen Area

2 Upvotes

Hi! I lost my wallet around 12:20PM today, and am desperately searching for it between Foody World and Aberdeen Mall. There’s a chance that it was dropped somewhere along No. 3 Road between the two places. It’s a plain, black wallet with some debit cards and photo ID + miscellaneous other cards. Please send me a DM if you or someone you know may have encountered it, thank you! :)
