Olympic Line streetcar will debut on Thursday

Today is Wednesday, March 10, 2010

The new line will be functional starting Thursday and will run from Granville Island to West 2nd Avenue and Cambie Street, allowing passengers to connect to the Canada Line.

The company brought the two Flexity cars in from Brussels to contribute to transportation for the 2010 Winter Olympics but also to show off the first fully accessible, low-floor streetcars in North America as a marketing tool.

A total of $8.5 million was spent upgrading the tracks and overhead power lines for the Flexity cars.
