Mount Pleasant — Walkability, Transit, and Commute
A focused reference on walkability + transit in Mount Pleasant, drawn from the broader Mount Pleasant area page — pulled out as its own page so it’s scannable on its own.
Main Street–Science World station (Expo Line, opened 1985) sits at the very north edge of Mount Pleasant at Main + Terminal — roughly a 15–20 minute walk from Main + Broadway, longer from south of East Broadway. The Canada Line at Broadway-City Hall (Cambie + Broadway) serves the western edge. The Olympic Village Canada Line station (Cambie + 2nd) serves the northern waterfront. Downtown is 10–15 minutes by SkyTrain from either station.
The new Mount Pleasant Subway station at Main + Broadway (Phase 1 Broadway Subway Project, current 2027 in-service target) will materially change the convenience math: addresses south of Broadway move from a 15–20 minute walk to a sub-5-minute walk to rapid transit — the band where TOD price premiums historically concentrate. TransLink publishes the current opening schedule, so any specific year is easy to confirm at the time it matters.
