Are there any archeologically sensitive areas that will be affected?
The initial assessment has not revealed conclusively any areas where there are assumed to be archeologically significant artifacts underground. It has been impossible to do a comprehensive archaeological assessment on areas that are currently required for traffic flow. To ensure potentially significant areas are not threatened, the InTransitBC team is required to provide CLCO with an Archaeological Monitoring Plan for the construction stage. We expect this Monitoring Plan to be based on similar plans developed for the VAA’s International Terminal Building Third Runway Expansion project and the Millennium Line Sky Train project. The plan will address key areas: downtown station locations, the Cambie and Broadway intersection, the Richmond Terminal, and much of the proposed route on Sea Island.
