Waiting for 203 Street

The Surrey Langley SkyTrain, officially named the Dave Barrett Extension, will extend the Expo Line 16 kilometres from King George Station in Surrey to 203 Street in the City of Langley, mostly along Fraser Highway on an elevated guideway. It will add eight stations: Green Timbers, 152 Street, Fleetwood, Bakerview-166 Street, Hillcrest-184 Street, Clayton, Willowbrook and Langley City Centre. Three of them, including Langley City Centre, get new bus exchanges. The project site gives the anticipated in-service date as late 2029.

Cascades' address is 20393 Fraser Highway. The new terminus at 203 Street is on the same road, a short walk away.

What it will change

• Car-free weekends become realistic. A visitor flying into YVR could ride the Canada Line and the Expo Line most of the way, then finish on the new extension.
• Event guests from Surrey and Burnaby could reach the ballroom and get home again without a designated driver.
• Our access score would rise. In our ranking, Cascades loses a point on access because it is car-dependent. A station nearby would likely earn it back.

What it will not change

• It will not add a pool, the main reason the hotel ranks low in our scoring.
• It will not shorten the trip to downtown Vancouver into a short hop; the Expo Line is long, and the extension adds 16 kilometres to it.
• Construction years can mean detours on Fraser Highway. Check the project's notices before you drive in during the build.
