Canadian Pacific’s (CP) tracks and land along the Arbutus corridor are ready for recommencement of operations. The transporting and storage of rail cars on the tracks will commence in the coming weeks. CP asks for resident’s cooperation in staying off the railway corridor for safety reasons. It is illegal to walk, drive or cycle on or alongside the railway line.
Should you need to cross the tracks, do so only at marked crossings. If you see trespassers or dangerous activity on or around CP tracks at any time of the day you can contact CP Police at 1-800-716-9132.
If you have further questions about CP’s work along the Arbutus corridor, contact their Community Connect team at community_connect@cpr.ca or 1-800-766-7912.
“I remain fully opposed to the reactivation of trains on the Arbutus corridor, after more than 15 years of inactivity on the route. The City of Vancouver has a wide variety of significant public safety concerns about CP’s course of action, and City staff have thoroughly communicated those concerns to Transport Canada.”—Mayor Gregor Robertson (June 30, 2015)
