Canada Line
In keeping with our goal of being a sustainable organization operating a world class airport, the Airport Authority has committed up to $300-million to fund the airport portion of the Canada Line (previously known as the RAV Line) rapid transit link. Scheduled to begin operations in late 2009, the line will connect downtown Vancouver, Richmond City Centre and YVR. The 19-kilometre transit line will add the equivalent of a 10-lane roadway and provide passengers and employees with convenient transportation to YVR.
The Airport Authority has been working over the past eight years on developing marked cycling lanes on Sea Island. Currently the following roads have marked cycling lanes adjacent to the traffic lanes:
Russ Baker Way Sections of Grant McConachie Way Templeton Street Ferguson Road Sections of Miller Road Cessna Road
There are also separate cycling routes:
From Arthur Laing Bridge westbound to Grant McConachie Way westbound From Airport connector Bridge westbound to Arthur Laing northbound From Airport Connector Bridge westbound to Grant McConachie Way westbound From Airport Connector Bridge westbound to North Airport Road From Cessna Drive & Miller to North Airport Road (under Airport Connector Bridge) Between Templeton Street (south end) and Russ Baker Way
There are bicycle racks available:
Outside of the International Terminal building on Level 2 At the Airport Station bus loop In the 'M' parking lot At the Air Services Building at the South Terminal For employees on Level 1 of the Domestic Terminal in the cycling facility
Although, not separated from traffic, there are marked cycling lanes on the Arthur Laing Bridge leading to Vancouver, and wider lanes on the Number 2 Road Bridge into Richmond. Cyclists can also consider a combination of cycling and transit as most transit buses are outfitted with front-mounted bicycle racks.
For more information and a cycling map and guide please look at the Translink website at:
The City of Richmond also provides information on cycling and routes online at:
www.richmond.ca/services/ttp/cycling /
Ferguson Road and the paths leading out to Iona Beach on the north side of Sea Island are popular for recreational cycling.
Getting to Work at the Airport
The Vancouver International Airport Authority recognizes the contribution that vehicle traffic makes to air pollution in the Lower Fraser Valley. As such, we support the expansion of commuting choices such as the Richmond-Airport-Vancouver (RAV) rapid transit line and improvements to cycling facilities on Sea Island. As an employee working at YVR or on Sea Island, there are several transportation options available to you.

YVR will be the only North American stop for the Airbus A380 as it visits 10 different airports worldwide on four trips. The aircraft will be arriving the morning of November 29 and departing later the same day. The visit is part of a certification process for the A380, demonstrating its capabilities on a continuous typical airline schedule.
Unfortunately, the A380 visit to YVR is not open to the public. The aircraft will not be visible from any pre-security parts of the terminals and due to the parking position of the aircraft and time of day for arrival and departure, there will be no suitable outdoor viewing points. The public is advised that the best view of the A380 will be through local media coverage.
