History edit
Scott Road station opened on March 16, 1990 as part of the first extension of the original SkyTrain system (now known as the Expo Line). This extension included two stations—Scott Road and Columbia in neighbouring New Westminster—as well as the SkyBridge over the Fraser River.[2] Scott Road station served as the eastern terminus of the Expo Line until a three-station extension to Surrey City Centre was completed in 1994.[3]
Scott Road station underwent several upgrades beginning in early 2013, improvements included a new elevator and better accessibly, as well as a new bus loop with an upgraded parking lot. These improvements were made in part of the larger Expo Line Upgrade project. Construction was completed in 2014.[4]
Services edit
Scott Road station is located in an industrial district, but it is an important transfer point for TransLink passengers. Unlike most stations, which rely on passengers arriving by foot or by bus, this station is also adjacent to the largest park and ride lot operated by TransLink, with 1,471 spaces and a daily charge of CA$3.00.[5]
