VIA Rapid will make getting around easier with improvements planned throughout the corridor.

We are making safety and infrastructure improvements to offer a better experience for people traveling on the new VIA Rapid Green Line corridor. Road resurfacing helps improve drainage and draw water away from bus stops and crosswalks. It also increase the lifespan and durability of the pavement, which will result in fewer repairs. We’re also providing better accessibility with level boarding at station locations, ramps and improved sidewalks for passengers in the disability community and people with limited mobility.

We’re building better service on an enhanced corridor.

An enhanced corridor begins with a plan for improvements that benefit everyone. Construction work will consist primarily of road repaving, intersection improvements, and other surface-level activities in manageable stages. This helps minimize disruptions to existing trafficc and the surrounding community while making progress on planned improvements. Preparing for construction begins in 2024 with utility location adjustments to move existing utilities like water, gas, electricity, and telecommunications equipment, in certain parts of the corridor. This helps ensure these services are not disrupted during construction. VIA’s plans will allow for business and neighborhood access and usual trafficc patterns during the project’s pre-construction phase.

Safety is still our top priority.

Considerations for everyone using the corridor, including pedestrians, motorists, people with mobility devices, bicyclists, and others, are part of the design process and included in the project. This includes maintaining safe and clearly marked walkways and paths to existing and temporary stops that may be set up during construction. Temporary access points or detour alternatives will be designated for business entrances or intersections as needed, and major work near access points will be scheduled outside regular business hours whenever possible.
