Burnaby Residents Support Rapid Bus Route on Hastings

The article discusses a webform submission from a Burnaby resident, Michelle Scarr, who represents the organization Movement - Metro Vancouver Transit Riders. Scarr and Spencer Powell, volunteers for Movement, wish to appear before the Burnaby City Council on March 2, 2024, to express their support for Translink's proposed Rapid bus route that would connect North Vancouver and Metrotown.

• Translink is proposing two Rapid bus route options: one along Hastings and Willingdon, and the other on Boundary and 1st/Halifax.
• The delegation is speaking in strong support of the Hastings alignment, as it will relieve congestion, bring people directly to destinations in Burnaby Heights, help businesses, improve access, decrease reliance on vehicles, and improve safety.
• The delegation has a petition in support of the Hastings alignment and hopes the mayor and council will support this alignment.
