REPORT REFERENCE
1. SkyTrain Alignment West of Commercial Drive File: 5559/RTS: 914
July 23, 1999
MOVED by Cllr. Price,
A. THAT in response to the Negotiator's Agreement, Council prefers in principle the North Alignment from the Commercial station through the Grandview Cut to the north side of Vancouver Community College as shown generally in Appendix A of the Administrative Report dated July 23, 1999.
B. THAT Council's preference in RECOMMENDATION A assumes the SkyTrain alignment will continue from the station on the north side of VCC, through the Finning site to a second station on the Finning site, to a tunnel portal in the vicinity of Prince Edward Street, and continue to an underground station in the vicinity of Main and Broadway as shown in Appendix A-1 (the "Finning to Main Extension") of the Administrative Report dated July 23, 1999.
C. THAT RECOMMENDATION A is conditional upon Rapid Transit Project2000 by September 30 , 1999 unless the City agrees to an extension to that date:
1. completing the preliminary engineering work and finalizing the cost estimates for the Finning to Main Extension.
2. achieving an agreement with Finning and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, with input from the City of Vancouver, as to the precise alignment and related design issues for the Finning to Main Extension.
3. receiving Provincial approval to fund the Finning to Main Extension.
4. engaging in a public consultation process as to the design implications of the North Alignment including the segment in the Grandview Cutand the Finning to Main Extension.
5. achieving agreement with TransLink on this issue and other regional issues contemplated in the Negotiator's Agreement,
and THAT the Manager, Rapid Transit be directed to seek a memorandum of understanding with Rapid Transit Project2000 to that effect, and THAT the City Manager be authorized to enter into such memorandum.
D. THAT the Manager, Rapid Transit, in consultation with the Manager of Engineering Services and the Director of Central Area Planning, report back to Council if the items set out in RECOMMENDATION C are not likely to be achieved by September 30, 1999.
E. THAT if the items set out in RECOMMENDATION C are not achieved, and it appears from the advice of staff as set out in RECOMMENDATION D that Council's assumption in expressing its preference is incorrect, then Council prefers the South Alignment, under Broadway to VCC, as shown in Appendix A of the Administrative Report dated July 23, 1999.
F. THAT Council acknowledge that the issue of the North Alignment, particularly the Finning to Main Extension, is one of several interrelated regional issues contemplated by the Negotiator's Agreement and that several of those issues, including the station at Lougheed Mall, require a level of certainty similar to that contemplated in RECOMMENDATION C.
G. THAT the City supports TransLink in its efforts to achieve early certainty around the issues contemplated in the Negotiators Agreement, and requests TransLink to incorporate RECOMMENDATION C into its regional negotiations.
H. THAT while the results of the joint Phase 2 Study to determine a route, technology and a western terminus will not be available for Council's consideration until late fall of 1999, the Negotiator's Agreement provides for cost sharing of SkyTrain technology only, and therefore Council requests Rapid Transit Project2000 undertake the preliminary engineering work required to complete the cost estimates for SkyTrain technology underground from a station in the vicinity of Main and Broadway to Arbutus Street in order that a timely decision can be made as to and end point.
I. THAT Recommendation A and B assume the SkyTrain alignment through the Finning site will be below finished grade and covered, leading to its connection to a tunnel portal in the vicinity of Prince Edward Street, as more particularly described in Appendix B of the Administrative Report dated July23, 1999.
