MY VIEWS ON TRANSIT AND RAIL IMPROVEMENTS ON THE EAST COAST OF VANCOUVER ISLAND.

Vic West Station Part 2

So I have decided on a location based on my photographs that I took on Monday. I still have to some measurements, but based on what I have seen it is wide enough for a approx. 2m (6') platform with a shelter that would cover the entire length (or individual) and  do a double duty as a bus shelter (s) as well. This is because of the narrowness of the site.


 There would be ramps for wheelchair access as well. This is because of the slightly higher elevation of the rail corridor. A platform height of about 1foot should be sufficient, that's above track height.






 So by looking at the car parked, the sidewalk would be extended the width of the car to allow an enclosed structure which would house the public washrooms and ticket counter.






Improved bus stops to allow for future expansion and service by a shuttle route linking the the station to downtown as well for current routes; #6 and #24. The picture above shows the current stop nearby.
