Joyce–Collingwood (formerly Joyce) is an elevated station on the Expo Line, a part of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. The station is located on Joyce Street at Vanness Avenue, in the Renfrew–Collingwood neighbourhood of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

History

The station was designed by the Austrian architecture firm Architektengruppe U-Bahn^[2]^[3] and opened in 1985 as "Joyce station" on the original Expo Line. It replaced Joyce Loop, located 600 metres (2,000 ft) south at the intersection of Joyce Street and Kingsway, as the main transfer point for local transit services in the area. Trolley wires were extended to the station in early 1986 to bring trolley buses to the station's bus loop.^[4]

The station is located on the former right-of-way once used by the British Columbia Electric Railway's Central Park Line; this line ran from just west of Nanaimo station to where New Westminster station is located.

Formerly an industrial area, the immediate vicinity of this station has since been redeveloped as Collingwood Village, a denser community of high-rise condominiums. The "Collingwood" portion of the name was added in 2001 in an attempt to reflect the positive impact of SkyTrain on the surrounding community.

As part of Expo Line upgrades, renovations on the station began in early 2016.^[5] Phase one of the project was completed on October 6, 2017; it included a replacement of the existing elevator, the installation of two new escalators at the east end of the platform to replace the original single one, and the improvement of the station design and integration with the surrounding community.^[6] Phase two renovations began in early 2018 and were completed on June 15, 2019.^[5]^[7]

Services

The station connects to a number of TransLink bus routes serving eastern Vancouver, Burnaby, and North Vancouver.
It is one of the termini for the R4 41st Ave RapidBus service, which replaced the 43 express route that ran west from this station to the University of British Columbia on January 6, 2020.^[8]
