UBC students lament '18th birthday' of long-promised SkyTrain extension | Urbanized

This article discusses the 18-year delay in the construction of a SkyTrain extension to the University of British Columbia (UBC), a project that was promised by the BC Liberals in 2008. UBC students marked the milestone with a symbolic birthday party, highlighting the project's prolonged delay and its impact on housing, transportation, and the environment. The Alma Mater Society (AMS) is calling for a clear timeline and a completed business case by January 2027, as the project is currently in the preliminary stages and construction is not expected to begin until the early 2030s.
