Interactive map of potential train station locations
Overall, GIS analysis allowed us to determine the suitability of train station locations along the Sea to Sky Corridor. For the results shown in the maps, the most ideal locations for the stations include: Downtown Squamish, Dundarave, Park Royal, and Lonsdale Quay. Although Horseshoe Bay does not appear in green, but in orange/yellow with medium suitability on Map 5, we would recommend adding it as a stop since it is a transit zone for passengers using the BC Ferry services. In addition, the last stop should be Lonsdale Quay as it has a Sea Bus service that links directly to Waterfront in Downtown Vancouver.
Further research would have to be done on what real estate is available for purchase in the areas that are shown in green on the map. When considering what real estate is available, a lot size of 75meters by 30 meters would be ideal for a train station. The report, The Transportation Hub, by the District of Squamish has selected exact locations where train stations are most suitable.
