From the beginning of public engagement, Translink has identified the community’s concerns, including safety and security, all-weather travel, transit connectivity, and more. Once phase 2 is complete, Translink will be submitting the final report to the Burnaby Mayor’s Council.

  • Ruins of a 1960’s cable car show the long history of this technology. The unique sea cable car system was built in the southern end of Sidi Infi port in Africa by Spanish colonizers to transport people and goods over shallow waters, from ships to land . According to local media, the cable car was abandoned in the mid-1970’s when the Spanish colonizers left the city.
