Grandview-Woodland — Walkability, Transit, and Commute
A focused reference on walkability + transit in Grandview-Woodland, drawn from the broader Grandview-Woodland area page — pulled out as its own page so it’s scannable on its own.
Commercial-Broadway SkyTrain Station at the southern boundary is the third-busiest SkyTrain station in Metro Vancouver per TransLink ridership data — Expo + Millennium Line interchange. Downtown is 10–15 minutes via the Expo Line. The Broadway Subway Phase 1 (Millennium Line extension to Arbutus, 2027 in-service per Province) re-positions Commercial-Broadway as the principal Westside-Eastside Millennium Line transfer point.
By car, downtown is 10–20 minutes via Hastings, 1st Avenue, or 12th Avenue. The Commercial Drive + Broadway + Hastings + 1st Avenue commercial spines run frequent bus service (R5 RapidBus on Hastings, 20/N20 on Commercial, 99 B-Line on Broadway through 2027 when the Subway opens). Commercial Drive itself is highly bikeable — the central core is one of Vancouver's best small-business walking + cycling districts.
