These videos are so well made. Thank you for putting so much time into them. Hopefully, someone at Translink sees these and gets you access to film inside. Would be great marketing for the project and of benefit to all Vancouverites!
Stainer, thank you for this! I want to watch it unfold, so for you to spend so much time doing this, is a true service to humanity. Volunteer hours must be stacking up. I hope to go into project management, and I hope to manage a transit construction project, 1 day. It would be a chance to cross off a bucket list item.
Thanks for the amazing work on all this! I work for the City of Vancouver and perhaps may be able to facilitate getting increased access for you if that's something you're interested in. If so, let me know here and we can maybe chat further privately about it. I would have direct messaged you but apparently youtube took that option away for creators (probably a good idea to preserve sanity!). Cheers Shawn
Great video! Love these updates considering I can’t see the sites in person. Excited for the upcoming video relating to the future provincial transit plans!
I was just thinking it was about time for a Broadway Subway update! Brilliant work as always! Quick question for you, I have been working on a video about the Fraser River Tunnel Project and was looking to go out and take some drone footage of the area, but I am unsure as to whether or not I can fly a drone around the Deas Island area. Seeing as you always use a drone for the majority of your footage, do you know how I can tell where I can and cannot fly a similar drone? Cheers!
Glad you like my work :) For drone flying I use the Nav Canada drone map tool since you can select for the size of drone and type of license that you have. nrc.canada.ca/en/drone-tool/ If you're flying a micro drone (sub 250g) you should be able to fly just fine. The DJI app will complain and you'll have to agree to terms, but as long as you follow the federal regulations you should be okay.
Any chance the line can be partially opened before 2026 (e.g. from VCC to cambie) so we doNt have to wait for the whole line to be completed before using it?
Toilets being craned into or out of a pit/tower is a regular occurrence at a construction site. Imagine having to climb up 10 flights of stairs or take an hoist 40 floors down every time you needed a toilet? There would be smelly 💩 everywhere and nothing would get done.
Other countries may build faster, but we have stricter building codes and expect our systems to last 100+ years. A 5 year build time for a piece of infrastructure that will last for generations is well worth it.
I can't take away anything from your video, which is very good, but the system itself is so mickymouse. I can't believe that a station with two lines is only going to have one entrance. There's already a space built underground on the northwest corner, so why not use it.
Glad you like the video! I spent a good amount of time reading up about why they decided to go with only 1 entrance at Broadway City Hall. According to the research once the new line is open almost all connections will be within the station. The main entrance will only see moderate foot traffic for local buses, business, and residents around the area. We might see something change when the Canada line requires expansion sometime in the next 15-30 years.

I'll be naming all new update videos based on when they were filmed. Goodbye seasons, hello months!
That sounds better. I noticed that for some kinds of videos it is important to name the month and year in the title.
Many (many) years from now, someone will greatly appreciate it as they go looking for historical archives!
Really excited for this project as it will open a lot of options for me. thanks for your video!
Riding it for the first time is going to feel like a fever dream
gonna be sick@@StainerTheFirst

I really enjoy these updates. Kudos for doing them, and doing them so well!
I used to live close to VGH and the whole Arbutus to Cambie corridor was my daily walk. Amazed at all that is changing. Great video and footage!
Guideway’s lookin’ good 😎 👍
hey! fellow Vancouverite and transit troll here! Just found your videos and channel tonight! Cheers!
Oh wow, it's changed so much even since I was last there looking during the early fall. Great to see the Skytrain projects moving forward!
Great video! Thank you for keeping us updated. It's really fascinating to see large construction projects in my opinion.
Amazing update, thank you for the great shots and editing!
Wow, those drone shots circling the top of Granville Station are nuts.
Terrific work!
Great work, very informative!
Thank you so much for these updates!!! I appreciate them so much! Dope work.
Thanks for the video! It's really exciting to see the progress
Love your video style and it always makes for a compelling watch! Thank you for the updates :)
Love these videos, thank you for doing this work!
This is home! Great video!
Great videos !
Great catch of that Mark I on the tail track
This is some of my favorite stuff to see. Love seeing these updates! Thanks so much!
Love these updates, especially the 2022 comparison shots!
thank you so much for these videos bro!! they are so interesting to watch
These update videos are great. Looking forward to the next one!
Fantastic review on the project. Well done for the hard work 🙏
Such a detailed and informative high quality video. So fascinating to see this work progress.
great video as always
Fantastic update!
Thank you.
Nice updates, looks like it's coming along nicely.
Good job! The SkyTrain is one of the best examples of how mass transit should be built.
Are you talking about the design or the construction?
@@juliansmith4295 design…
Great video, awesome to see the developments documented🤓👍
Great video man! Very informative and I love the visuals. Nice drone work! 👏
If only construction like this could be done in NYC.
These are great updates! Hopefully you can get out to Langley when that project starts construction. 😂
Planning on getting out there once construction starts :)
@@StainerTheFirstYay!

Hi Shawn, lets chat! I can be reached at my username @ gmail . com

Looking forward to its eventual extension to UBC
This man should be like a construction manager
looking forward to the next update! It would seem we're pretty close to the end of the tunnel boring phase by now
Phyllis should be done sometime this week if all goes well. Next update will be out around mid April.
I was just thinking it was about time for a Broadway Subway update! Brilliant work as always!

Great video as always! Is there any way I can contact you, by the way?
Yes! I'm on both the RM transit and BC Urbanism discords.
Any chance the line can be partially opened before 2026 (e.g. from VCC to cambie) so we doNt have to wait for the whole line to be completed before using it?
Unfortunately that won't be the case, the line will be opening as 1. But you only have to wait another 24 months!
Toilets being craned into or out of a pit/tower is a regular occurrence at a construction site. Imagine having to climb up 10 flights of stairs or take an hoist 40 floors down every time you needed a toilet? There would be smelly 💩 everywhere and nothing would get done.
Why is construction so painfully slow in Canada?
Other countries may build faster, but we have stricter building codes and expect our systems to last 100+ years. A 5 year build time for a piece of infrastructure that will last for generations is well worth it.
What city I this?
Vancouver, BC.
I honestly don't know how I forgot to add that in the script, my bad
