Andrew T. Jones, an Urban Studies student at SFU, has just started to post excerpts from his research project on the students’ blog, Urban Studies. Lots of detail, of course, as you’d expect for an academic work, examining in depth the origins of a pioneering piece of infrastructure: the first ALRT (or SkyTrain) station.
But it’s extremely well illustrated, and includes some of the politics – big P and small P – that was happening in the rush to Expo ’86. Worth following here.
LRT Station designed for centre median of Terminal Ave. GVRD, 1979.
