Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce is excited about Evergreen Line growth opportunities

First contracts awarded to local companies.

Michael Hind, Executive Director of the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce is excited about the tremendous growth the Evergreen Line will bring to the region.

The Evergreen Line is a new rapid transit line that will connect Coquitlam to Vancouver via Port Moody and Burnaby. The Evergreen Line will be a fast, frequent and convenient SkyTrain service, connecting Coquitlam City Centre through Port Moody to Lougheed Town Centre in approximately 15 minutes. It will connect without transfer to the current SkyTrain network at Lougheed Town Centre Station and will integrate with regional bus and West Coast Express networks. The Evergreen Line will be in service in summer 2016.

The Evergreen Line will relieve congestion, improve air quality and link Port Moody and Coquitlam to the current SkyTrain system. Over 8,000 direct and indirect jobs will be created during construction.
