Federal government, TransLink invest over $44M in Burnaby Transit Centre

BURNABY, B.C. – The Government of Canada and TransLink are investing over $44.1 million in improvements to the Burnaby Transit Centre (BTC) in Burnaby, B.C.

The project will expand the BTC’s maintenance and storage capacity to support up to 130 additional buses, an Infrastructure Canada release said.

The funding will support the redistribution of BTC functions between its north and south campuses and relocate some functions to an off-site location as the current campuses are at capacity, the release said. Improvements will be made to both campuses and the off-site location, including demolition of an existing complex, construction of new maintenance bays and facility renovation.

The federal government is investing $17.6 million through the Public Transit Infrastructure Stream of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program. TransLink is contributing $26.4 million the release said.
