Broadway–City Hall is a subterranean station on the Canada Line within Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit network. Positioned at the intersection of West Broadway and Cambie Street in Vancouver, British Columbia, it provides access to prominent locations such as Vancouver City Hall, City Square Shopping Centre, Vancouver General Hospital, as well as the nearby neighborhoods of Fairview and Mount Pleasant.

History

The station commenced operations in 2009 alongside the inauguration of the Canada Line. Designed by VIA Architecture, it is notable for its expansive double-height ceilings above the platform area.

In 2018, approval was granted for extending the Millennium Line westward from VCC–Clark station to Arbutus Street, with plans to eventually reach the University of British Columbia. Broadway–City Hall is set to function as an interchange station on this extension. A "knock-out" panel located on the mezzanine level will facilitate future access to new Millennium Line platforms situated beneath Broadway. Although initially planned to open in 2025, this project has experienced two postponements and is now expected to be completed by late 2027.

Services

Several bus routes serve Broadway–City Hall station, including the #9 trolleybus providing east–west local service along Broadway, the #15 running on Cambie Street, and the 99 B-Line, which connects eastward to Commercial–Broadway station and westward to the University of British Columbia (UBC).

Entrances

There is one entrance located at the southeast corner of Cambie Street and West Broadway. The 99 B-Line bus heading to Commercial–Broadway stops directly outside this entrance.

The City of Vancouver mandated that the Crossroads development at the northwest corner of Cambie Street and West Broadway allocate space for a potential future station entrance; however, this entrance has not yet been constructed.
