Yaletown–Roundhouse is an underground station on the Canada Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. The station is located on Davie Street at Mainland Street, approximately 80 metres (260 ft) northwest of Pacific Boulevard, and serves the residential and retail areas of Yaletown and Downtown Vancouver in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
History[edit]
Yaletown–Roundhouse station opened in 2009, and its name is derived from the neighbourhood in which it is located, as well as a historic railway roundhouse which now serves as a community centre.[2][3] VIA Architecture was the architecture firm responsible for designing the station.[4]
In 2018, TransLink announced that Yaletown–Roundhouse station, as well as two other Canada Line stations located in downtown Vancouver, would receive an accessibility upgrade which includes additional escalators.[5] Construction began on January 28, 2019, and was completed by July.[6][7][8]
