=== Millennium Line === {{Main|Millennium Line}} Prior to October 22, 2016, the Millennium Line shared tracks with the Expo Line from Waterfront station to Columbia station in New Westminster, then continued along its own elevated route through [[North Burnaby]] and [[East Vancouver]], ending at [[VCC–Clark station]], near [[Vancouver Community College]]'s Broadway campus. It was built on a $1.2-billion budget and the final extension from Commercial Drive station (now [[Commercial–Broadway station]]) to VCC–Clark station was opened on January 6, 2006.<ref name="APTA">{{cite web |url=http://www.apta.com/services/intnatl/intfocus/skytrain2.cfm |title=Skytrain: The Smart Choice for Greater Vancouver |publisher=American Public Transportation Association |access-date=January 14, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927220917/http://www.apta.com/services/intnatl/intfocus/skytrain2.cfm |archive-date=September 27, 2007}}</ref> From October 22, 2016, to December 1, 2016, the Millennium Line operated from VCC–Clark to Lougheed Town Centre station.<ref>{{cite web |title=Everything Evergreen: New SkyTrain operating pattern for Expo and Millennium Lines |url=http://buzzer.translink.ca/2016/09/everything-evergreen-new-skytrain-operating-pattern-for-expo-and-millennium-lines/ |last=Coling |first=Adrienne |date=September 19, 2016 |work=The Buzzer blog |publisher=TransLink |access-date=October 4, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161005155327/http://buzzer.translink.ca/2016/09/everything-evergreen-new-skytrain-operating-pattern-for-expo-and-millennium-lines/ |archive-date=October 5, 2016}}</ref> As of December 2, 2016, the Millennium Line operates between VCC–Clark station in Vancouver and [[Lafarge Lake–Douglas station]] in Coquitlam. The Millennium Line has 17 stations, three of which are transfer stations with the Expo Line (Commercial–Broadway, Production Way–University, and Lougheed Town Centre) and two which connect with the West Coast Express commuter train ([[Moody Centre station|Moody Centre]] and [[Coquitlam Central station|Coquitlam Central]]). The original Millennium Line's stations were designed by British Columbia's top architects and are very different from those on the Expo Line.<ref name="APTA" /> In 2004, Busby and Associates Architects, designers of the [[Brentwood Town Centre station]] in [[Burnaby]], were honoured for their work with a [[Governor General's Awards|Governor General's Medal in Architecture]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.raic.org/raic/honours_and_awards/awards/2004recipients/brentwood_e.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927064733/http://www.raic.org/raic/honours_and_awards/awards/2004recipients/brentwood_e.htm |archive-date=September 27, 2007 |title=Governor General's Medal in Architecture |publisher=Royal Architectural Institute of Canada |access-date=December 2, 2006}}</ref> Construction on the Millennium Line's [[Evergreen Extension]], from Lougheed Town Centre in Burnaby to Lafarge Lake–Douglas in Coquitlam, was completed in 2016 and it was opened for revenue service on December 2, 2016.<ref name="open-date" /> This extension adds {{convert|11|km|mi|abbr=on}} and 6 new stations to the Millennium Line.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.translink.ca/evergreen |title=Evergreen Extension – Opening at noon on Dec. 2, 2016! |publisher=TransLink |access-date=December 2, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161201214642/http://www.translink.ca/evergreen |archive-date=December 1, 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref>
