This is just a great little bit of influencing, and it'll be interesting to see how the first LRT Folk Fest goes.

That's a bit of a myth.

Of course, National City Lines has nothing to do with Canada. I don't think there were any privately owned streetcar lines in Canada by the 1940's, although a few interurban operations existed.
Edit: the BC Electric Railway was still private so there was 1 private city street railway beyond the 1940's in Vancouver.

So I was happy to see that the Davies park n ride lot with a ton more vehicles yesterday when zi went to Cariwest. It was by no means full, but probably the most cars I've seen there so far. This is definitely one of the best places now on the southside for parking when going downtown to Folk fest and other festivals.

Makes sense. Comic Con was also happening, so I'd assume many took the train to the ECC from there.
DT was very busy last night. NOFX concert, Cariwest, Comic Con, U18 hockey. Definitely a lot of irregular visitors, plenty were international in the Ice District.

Is that a pre-winter opening to restore local access by chance? Probably not.

The Q1 2024 update says that they hope to have Stoney Plain Road opened in Q3. I dunno about the bridge though.

The bridge is mostly done, they should have the road and bridge opened by the end of September
