TransLink's Bike Parkade

TransLink, Metro Vancouver’s transportation authority’s, Bike Parkade Program will provide secure bike parking at transit stations throughout Metro Vancouver. The program was launched in 2014 with the opening of a bike parkade at the newly renovated Main Street – Science World SkyTrain Station. In 2015, a second bike parkade opened at the southern terminus of the SkyTrain system at King George Station in Surrey. Bike parkades are planned for two upcoming Expo Line renovations: Commercial-Broadway Station in Vancouver and Metrotown Station in Burnaby. Bike parkades will be built by developers as part of transit-oriented development at Gilmore Station in Burnaby and on the Canada Line at King Edward Station. TransLink’s bike parkades feature a variety of security features: fully glazed walls, 24 hour lighting, video cameras, and electronic keycard access. Both have double-decker pneumatic lift bike racks to maximize parking spaces within a small footprint.
