Lansdowne is an elevated station on the Canada Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. It is located in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada.

Location

Lansdowne Centre

Lansdowne station is located at the intersection of Lansdowne Road and № 3 Road. It serves Lansdowne Centre and Kwantlen Polytechnic University, as well as adjacent businesses and residences in the area. It is also the nearest station to the Richmond Olympic Oval, and an extension of Lansdowne Road was used to facilitate pedestrian travel between Lansdowne station and the oval during the 2010 Winter Olympics. [2]

The station was originally to have been located at the intersection of № 3 Road and Alderbridge Way, and would have been known as "Alderbridge station". The name "Lansdowne" comes from the former use of the site for a horse-racing track, named Lansdowne Park, from the 1920s until the 1960s.

gollark: No, the 1.7 version.

gollark: Unrelated: trying to make a nice base, so I made this 70-block-tall staircase, but now I want something to put at the top and am being indecisive again.

gollark: I'm not sure trying to go around enforcing it with specialization limits is the answer. Maybe a TC4-esque research system.

gollark: A quarry, created with a few hours of play time.

gollark: The problem is even greater on (significantly) modded, where one player can just do whatever.
