Opening Date for Evergreen extension revealed

"The Government of Canada recognizes that we need a solid partnership with all orders of government to support infrastructure projects that help the middle class grow and prosper now and into the future. The Evergreen extension will help get people where they need to go safely, efficiently and comfortably and I am very pleased that it will be in service in the coming weeks."
Ron McKinnon
Member of Parliament for Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam on behalf of the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities

"Today marks an exciting milestone in the Evergreen Line Project. Now that construction is complete, we are handing the reins over to TransLink to do their final preparation and staff training in anticipation of opening day. We are in the home stretch to putting this line into operation, and we’re looking forward to the opening of this critical addition to the region’s transportation network."
The Honourable Todd Stone
British Columbia Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure

"The eagerly-awaited Evergreen extension will soon be up and running and will improve transportation in the Metro Vancouver area for residents and visitors alike. Once open, we will have another quick and efficient public transit option, which will ease traffic congestion, reduce GHGs and contribute to the creation of liveable communities in the region."
The Honourable Peter Fassbender
British Columbia Minister of Community, Sport and Community Development and Minister responsible for TransLink

"Families and businesses have been waiting for rapid transit to link their communities, cut commute times, and provide more transportation choices. In a few short weeks, the Evergreen extension will be a part of our communities for generations to come."
Linda Reimer
Member of the Legislative Assembly for Port Moody-Coquitlam

"We are thrilled that our customers and neighbours across the Tri-Cities will soon have more transit choices to seamlessly connect to the Metro Vancouver transit network. We are focused on ensuring a smooth transition for customers and continue to get ready behind the scenes; testing the extension, planning the Community Celebration and preparing for bus integration after Evergreen opens."
