Two bus stops on Garibaldi Way are being moved due to construction in the area.
“Due to upgrades of the Garibaldi/Tantalus intersection, the two eastbound bus stops at Garibaldi/Tantalus are being relocated one block east, near the corner of Garibaldi Way and Diamond Head Road,” reads an alert from BC Transit about the change sent out April 28.
The change is expected to happen on Monday, May 1 and routes 1, 4 and 9 will be affected as part of the change. BC Transit says a shelter will be constructed at the new stop in the fall and remain the permanent bus stop going forward.

"The need for safety and traffic flow improvements at this intersection has been an ongoing concern. With increasing traffic congestion in the area, combined with numerous reports of near misses and unsafe conditions, the District began a traffic study to identify possible improvements,” reads a previous news release from the District.
Other changes that were previously reported included:
- A new multi-use path will be added, which will run from Highway 99 to Diamond Head Road
- A second crosswalk with flashing beacons will be installed on Garibaldi Way at Tantalus Road
- A left-hand turn bay will be added from Garibaldi Way onto Tantalus Way (Northbound)
- One of the 7-11 access points on Garibaldi Way will be removed
- A left-hand turn lane will be added from Garibaldi Way into the 7-11
- Shoulder widening on Diamond Head Road (from Garibaldi Way to Diamond Road)
The project is expected to take through June 2023 to complete.
