The station is on Joyce Street at Vanness Avenue, in the area of Vancouver known as Collingwood. It is the sixth busiest station on Expo Line. ==History== Joyce–Collingwood Station is on the old right-of-way once used by the old British Columbia Electric Railway Central Park Line; this line ran from just west of Nanaimo Station all the way to where the current New Westminster Station is located. The station was opened as ''Joyce Station'' in 1985 along the original Expo Line. It replaced Joyce Loop, located 600 metres south at the intersection of Joyce Street and Kingsway, as the main transfer point to local transit services in the area. Trolley wire were extended to the station in early 1986 to bring trolley buses to the bus loop. Formerly an industrial area, the area in the immediate vicinity of this station is being redeveloped as Collingwood Village, a denser community of high-rise condos. The "Collingwood" portion of the name was added in 2001 to try to reflect a positive presence imposed by SkyTrain on the surrounding community, as this station had been known to have a particularly negative community impact in terms of inducing high rates of crime and violence since its opening in the mid-80s. As part of the Expo Line upgrades to be complete by the end of 2016, new elevators, escalators, and parking for bicycles will be constructed and the design of the station will be improved.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=TransLink )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joyce–Collingwood Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
