Evergreen Line (TransLink)

The Evergreen Line is a long SkyTrain rapid transit line being built for the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority (TransLink) in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Evergreen Line RFP released )〕 It will extend the SkyTrain network from Lougheed Town Centre in Burnaby to Lafarge Lake–Douglas in Coquitlam, with the addition of six new SkyTrain stations and major upgrades to two existing stations (Commercial–Broadway Station and Lougheed Town Centre).
When the extension is open, the Millennium Line will be shortened to operate from Waterfront to Lougheed Town Centre, and the Evergreen Line will operate between VCC–Clark and Lafarge Lake–Douglas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Evergreen Line RFP released )〕 Service was planned to begin by the middle of 2016, and the line expected to serve 70,000 passengers per day in 2021. Plans for the line call for the use of tunnels and elevated guideways, using the same automated technology as the existing SkyTrain rapid transit lines operated by TransLink elsewhere in Metro Vancouver. On January 25, 2012, the provincial government announced that pre-construction work would proceed on the line, including the removal of some buildings and the construction of underground utility tunnels.
At , Vancouver's SkyTrain system will become the longest fully grade-separated metro/rapid transit system in Canada after the completion of the Evergreen Line, surpassing the Toronto subway and RT ( after the York University/Vaughan extension in 2016), the Montreal Metro (), and the upcoming Ottawa Confederation Line (). It will also become the longest fully automated rapid transit system in the world surpassing the Dubai metro.
The Evergreen Line uses the colour green on route maps, wayfinding and station signage.
==History==
A rapid-transit line to Coquitlam was intended to be part of the new Millennium Line that was completed in 2002. As the costs of the project rose, however, plans to extend the new line into Coquitlam were halted, though not before a third incomplete platform on the westbound side of the Lougheed Town Centre station was built, with a spur of tracks for the extension.
After completion of the Millennium Line, TransLink has undertaken several studies regarding the fate of the Coquitlam line, considering a variety of possible options, including a diesel multiple unit-based railway, a tram line, a new SkyTrain line, and an express bus service. In September 2002 the 97 B-Line express bus service was implemented. In 2004, it was decided that a tram line was the best option, as it would better blend in with the neighbourhood, cost less, better fit ridership patterns, and not compete with customers from the existing West Coast Express.
Detailed design began in October 2006, when the TransLink Board approved the Evergreen Light Rail Transit (LRT) project definition phase. Despite a series of public consultations held during this period, in a community update issued May 2007, TransLink summarized the state of the project as follows: “Work continues to resolve several outstanding issues before the project proceeds. Until there is project certainty, the planned consultation process in support of detailed design, the planned submission of the Application for an Environmental Assessment Certificate and the anticipated start date of the project construction are delayed.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Community Update )
This prompted local news agencies to interpret the statement as meaning TransLink had shelved the project. TransLink responded by issuing the following statement on July 19: "The Light Rail Transit system for the Northeast Sector is the number one rapid transit priority for TransLink", TransLink Chair Malcolm Brodie said. "We have defined the project, and now we are waiting for funding to be confirmed from senior levels of government."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Evergreen Line is still TransLink's priority )
On February 1, 2008, the provincial government and TransLink unveiled a revised business case for the Evergreen Line, preferring the Advanced Light Rapid Transit (ALRT) used by SkyTrain over the light-rail technology that had been proposed. The expected completion date was pushed back from 2011 to 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Evergreen Line Business Case Update )〕 On April 18, 2008, the Transport Ministry and TransLink announced that of the two routes proposed in the business case, the North West route was selected after consultation with the various municipalities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Northwest route decided for Evergreen Line )〕 On August 5, 2008, the Province of British Columbia and TransLink agreed on Evergreen Line delivery. On May 4, 2009, the Ministry of Transportation released a Project Description Report for the Evergreen Line. The report provided more information about the scope and characteristics of the proposed line and detailed the project's environmental and socio-economic requirements.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Evergreen Line Rapid Transit Project Project Description Report )
On September 3, 2009, the release of the report on TransLink's 2010 ten-year plan by Martin Crilly, the Regional Transportation Commissioner appointed by the Province of BC, indicated that rapid transit expansion, which includes the Evergreen Line, was highly unlikely without a predictable source of operational funding. Although he stopped short of offering his opinion on the project, he agreed nonetheless with TransLink that upgrades to the existing system should be prioritized before the construction of the Evergreen Line.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Commissioner Report on TransLink's 2010 10-year Transportation Plan )
On September 11, 2009, the second project update was released by the Evergreen Line Project. The update stated that contractor selection would begin in early to mid-2010, environmental assessment would be completed in 2010, and construction would proceed in late 2010. The update also announced open houses for the environmental assessment process for September 2009 and open houses for preliminary design in October and November 2009. It did not make reference to the funding issues that remained unresolved.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Evergreen Line Project Update No. 2 )
On October 26, 2009, the TransLink Mayors' Council voted against the increased funding necessary to pursue the Evergreen Line, instead voting for keeping existing services as they are.〔http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/2010wintergames/Metro+Vancouver+mayors+vote+extra+million+TransLink/2138234/story.html 〕 However, on October 28, 2009, Premier Gordon Campbell stated that the line would continue even though it had been voted down.
On October 7, 2011, the Mayors' Council approved the "Moving Forward" 2012 Supplemental Plan to fund various transportation projects in the Metro Vancouver region, including the Evergreen Line. Funding would be provided in part by a two-cents-per-litre increase in the Metro Vancouver fuel tax that was implemented in April 2012, with further funding from new sources that had yet to be determined. Of the projected $1.4 billion cost for the Evergreen Line, TransLink would provide $400 million, the provincial government would contribute $583 million, and the federal government would contribute $417 million. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom announced that construction was expected to begin in mid-2012, soon after a winning bid for construction was to be chosen from three shortlisted builders.〔
In May 2012, preliminary construction began, including the removal of some buildings and the construction of underground utility tunnels in certain areas of Port Moody and Coquitlam. At the same time, the province also awarded contracts to widen sections of North Road that were to be affected by construction of the line in the middle of the year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Evergreen Line - Connecting Coquitlam to Vancouver via Port Moody )
On July 19, 2012, the Government of Canada, the City of Coquitlam, and Coquitlam Centre Mall reached an agreement to add Lincoln Station onto the Evergreen Line, with the federal government contributing $7 million to the public-private partnership.
On October 4, 2012, SNC-Lavalin was chosen as the primary contractor to construct the Evergreen Line.
On December 3, 2012, the BC government and TransLink signed a contract with Bombardier Transportation to supply 28 SkyTrain cars.〔()〕
On December 8, 2012, the final early works contract for the Evergreen Line was awarded and was to be completed by March 2013. Also in the statement is that the project is still on track for completion in 2016.〔()〕
On February 5, 2013, Thales Canada announced that it was awarded a contract by Partnerships B.C. to install the company’s SelTrac Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC).
On March 23, 2013, the final names of the Evergreen Line stations were announced. It was also announced that construction of the guideway of the Evergreen Line will start in the Burquitlam area of Coquitlam in mid-2013 and continue south to Lougheed Town Centre station. The stations will be built in the following order:
*Inlet Centre Station, including utility work;
*Moody Centre Station, including utility work and relocation of the railway in the area;
* Lincoln Station, Burquitlam Station, and Lougheed Town Centre Station (beginning in mid-2013); and
* Coquitlam Central Station and Lafarge Lake–Douglas Station (beginning in late 2013).
In October 2014, the entire elevated guideway section between Lougheed Town Centre Station to the South Tunnel Portal was completed. The launching truss was transported to Coquitlam Central Station, where crews will continue to build the elevated guideway north to Lafarge Lake-Douglas Station.〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=October 27, 2014 )
On February 13, 2015, the provincial government announced that the opening of the line will be delayed until late 2016, due to slower-than-expected tunnel boring process. Any costs associated with the delay will come at no cost to the taxpayers, and will instead be covered by the contractor.
In June 2015, the project management team announced that they will begin testing trains between Lougheed Station and Burquitlam station in July 2015. On the week of July 6, 2015 testing begun.
On November 27. 2015, the provincial government announced that the opening of the line will be further delayed until early 2017. 〔
