The first vivastation designed for our new system of rapidways is becoming a reality. The arched metal framework for our new vivastation platforms at the intersection of Warden Avenue and Enterprise Drive has now been raised into place, and glass canopies will be added over the next few weeks.
This vivastation will be put into service next year, replacing the current Viva shelters at this location. Passengers using Warden Station can look forward to a new level of comfort next winter, with an enclosed, heated, and LED-lit section and an arched glass roof to shelter them as they get on and off our vehicles.
The new vivastation is located at the western gateway to Markham Centre, where a vibrant mix of activities will be available on the streets and squares where people live, work, shop and play. The first phases of residential construction are already underway.
I look forward to seeing the new station in service, and if you use this station, I hope you’ll let us know what you think.
One reply on “first new vivastation is coming together!”
This will be great. I wish there could be more heated shelters along Yonge too someday.
DaleA: Hi CM,
Viva stations with fully-enclosed sections to be heated in the winter will be installed at new, centre-lane rapidway stations along Yonge. These rapidways are scheduled to be completed in Richmond Hill between Highway 7 & Major Mackenzie by 2015 and from Levendale Road to 19th Ave/Gamble Road by 2020.
