The provincial government is set to unveil the latest plans for the Broadway Subway project in Vancouver Friday morning.
B.C. Transportation Minister Mike Farnworth will be joined by former Vancouver Mayor and current federal Housing and Infrastructure Minister Gregor Robertson at the Emily Carr Plaza on Great Northern Way around 9:15 a.m.
The pair is expected to announce the project’s next phase before boarding a train and riding a new route back and forth.
Broadway area business owners will likely be keeping a very close eye on what happens. Retailers and restaurants have been struggling since the project started in 2020.
