Station modernization

Pape is the first station scheduled to be renovated under a new modernization program, which will update the visual, safety and infrastructure aspects of many older stations. The renovations include adding a second entrance to the platform level, installation of elevators, new wall treatments public art and upgraded lighting and upgrading ventilation and fire safety systems. The project was scheduled to begin in 2008, but due to delays the contractor did not mobilize on the site until 28 September 2009.
