Wedoany.com Report-Dec 29, TransLink this week announced the opening of the recently built Capstan SkyTrain Station on the Canada Line in Richmond, British Columbia.

The station will help deliver more efficient transit-rail service in the growing Capstan Village area of the city, TransLink officials said in a press release. This is only the second time TransLink has constructed an additional SkyTrain station to serve an existing line, they said.

The new station was built under an agreement between TransLink and Richmond that was established through a precedent-setting funding model involving the city and Capstan Village developers.

Developers involved in the initiative included Concord Pacific, Polygon Homes, Pinnacle International and Yuanheng.

The C$62 million project cost was shared by TransLink and the city, which contributed C$32.2 million from developers.
