The lost King George[edit]

This article fails to mention that where King George was built was to be the hub of a major condominium project predating Infinity. One of these condominium towers and a line of connecting town homes were actually built and sit across from the station. The project fell through, but for years the showcase building sat abandoned in the middle of the lot displaying a poster of the failed project.

Also, the twinning of the Port Man Bridge calls for the extension of Light Rail across the bridge from the Coquitlam side. If this holds true it will direct whether the Expo line is expanded eastward or not. If the line were expanded it would be required to travel down Fraser Highway and through Green Timbers Urban Forest. (207.81.164.238 19:12, 8 February 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Related to the above, an unsourced statement was added saying there are plans to extend the Skytrain line from King George to Guildford. This cannot be correct as the line is clearly pointed southeasterly along Fraser Highway, indicating a future extension to Cloverdale and Langley City. A Guildford extension would more likely be a spur line similar to that being built off the Canada Line in Richmond. I removed the statement in any event. 68.146.47.196 04:05, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

it should be noted that the extension to guildford is now being planned. route details are scetchy, but from what I can figure it will either go up the hydro right-of-way just east of the present terminus to 104 ave, or it will travel up 140st to 104ave, as the proposal is to bring the line down 104 to 152 then down to fraser and out to 168. I'd also point out they can't even get the fraser highway widening through greentimbers park, so I would doubt there would be any skytrain line run down fraser highway between 140 and 148.

"the Fraser Highway" vs. "Fraser Highway"[edit]

@Walter Görlitz: you are literally contradicting yourself. You start by saying none of the sources call it "the Fraser Highway" and then go on to acknowledge that some do.

I did err in which CBC reference I provided: I meant to give this one, where they do refer to it as the Fraser Highway.

Suffice to say, it is inconsistently referred to with and without the definite article, so you have no call to remove and upset the WP:STATUSQUO. Also, "the Fraser Highway" is used elsewhere in the article, so on top of making a change under false pretences (the claim that local sources do not use "the"), you've made the article inconsistent, also. Please self-revert. —Joeyconnick (talk) 01:25, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Odd. No consistency. At least we can be consistent and not use the definite article. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:28, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
