29th Avenue is an at-grade station on the Expo Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. The station is located on 29th Avenue at Atlin Street, adjacent to Slocan Park in the Renfrew Heights neighbourhood of Vancouver, British Columbia.
History
29th Avenue station was built in 1985 as part of the original SkyTrain system (now known as the Expo Line). This station is located on the old right-of-way of the former Central Park Line of the British Columbia Electric Railway. This line formerly ran just west of where Nanaimo station is today, and continued east to where the current New Westminster station is located.
In 2002, Millennium Line service was introduced to the station, which provided outbound service to VCC–Clark (originally Commercial–Broadway) via Columbia station in New Westminster. This service was discontinued and replaced with the Expo Line branch to Production Way–University in 2016.
