History

Scott Road station opened on March 16, 1990 as part of the first extension of the original SkyTrain system (now known as the Expo Line). This extension included two stations—Scott Road and Columbia in neighbouring New Westminster—as well as the SkyBridge over the Fraser River. [2] Scott Road station served as the eastern terminus of the Expo Line until a three-station extension to Surrey City Centre was completed in 1994. [3]

Scott Road station underwent several upgrades beginning in early 2013, improvements included a new elevator and better accessibly, as well as a new bus loop with an upgraded parking lot. These improvements were made in part of the larger Expo Line Upgrade project. Construction was completed in 2014. [4]

Transportation in Vancouver, British Columbia, has many of the features of modern cities worldwide. Unlike many large metropolises, Vancouver has no freeways into or through the downtown area. A proposed freeway through the downtown was rejected in the 1960s by a coalition of citizens, community leaders and planners. This event "signalled the emergence of a new concept of the urban landscape" and has been a consistent element of the city's planning ever since.
