Broadway–City Hall is an underground station on the Canada Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. The station is located at the intersection of West Broadway and Cambie Street in Vancouver, British Columbia and is within walking distance of Vancouver City Hall, City Square Shopping Centre, Vancouver General Hospital and related facilities, as well as the surrounding Fairview and Mount Pleasant neighbourhoods.
History
Broadway–City Hall station was built in 2009 and opened along with the rest of the Canada Line. The station features large double-height ceilings over the platform area and was designed by the architecture firm VIA Architecture.{{Cite web |url=http://www.via-architecture.com/project/canada-line-stations/ |title=Canada Line Stations |work=VIA Architecture|access-date=March 10, 2019}}
In 2018, it was confirmed that the Millennium Line would be extended from its current terminus at VCC–Clark station west to Arbutus Street, and eventually to the University of British Columbia.{{Cite news |first=Kenneth |last=Chan |title=It's official: Broadway Subway and Surrey LRT will be built in $7-billion transit plan |url=http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/translink-mayors-council-broadway-subway-surrey-lrt-march-2018 |work=Daily Hive |date=March 16, 2018 |access-date=March 10, 2019}} When completed, Broadway–City Hall station will become a transfer point on the Broadway extension as the station was designed with a "knock-out" panel on the mezzanine level to provide a connection to the Millennium Line platforms under Broadway. Originally scheduled to open in 2025, the opening of the new platforms has been pushed back twice; as of May 2024, it is scheduled to open in late 2027.{{Cite web |last=Chan |first=Kenneth |date=November 24, 2022 |title=Broadway Subway opening delayed to 2026 |url=https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/broadway-subway-skytrain-millennium-line-extension-opening-date |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221125034617/https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/broadway-subway-skytrain-millennium-line-extension-opening-date |archive-date=November 25, 2022 |access-date=November 25, 2022 |website=Daily Hive Vancouver |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Chan |first=Kenneth |date=May 24, 2024 |title=Broadway Subway opening further delayed until Fall 2027 |url=https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/broadway-subway-skytrain-opening-delayed-2027 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240524202408/https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/broadway-subway-skytrain-opening-delayed-2027 |archive-date=May 24, 2024 |access-date=May 28, 2024 |website=Daily Hive Vancouver |language=en}}
