I'm not sure if this is the right area to post this in but I was just wondering if anyone knows if the City of Vancouver has any plans to develop/redevelop the surface parking lot adjacent to the Olympic Village Skytrain station?
It is known as Easypark "Lot 15" (see
http://www.easypark.ca/easypark-lots...ng-Lot-15.aspx ) but the lot is rarely full, despite being the only Canada Line "park and ride" within city limits.
I do suspect that the Olympic Village station is going to see greater utilization in the near future as there are several residential developments underway nearby (SEFC developments are obvious; the less obvious ones are the infill developments on the west side of Cambie south of 6th Ave., such as False Creek Landing, Cambie +7, and The Werks). But the new ridership coming from these buildings will be walking to the station, not driving and parking there.
On a related note: the leaseholds in False Creek South start expiring in 2022 (
http://www.replanfcs.ca/ ). I wonder if the City is waiting on the formal community planning process to kick off next year and simply include the surface lot as part of those discussions?
