  • Granville Mall is a transit mall and pedestrian mall in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It was designated in 1974, comprising the section of Granville Street between Hastings Street and Nelson Street. In 1988, the city re-opened one block between Nelson and Smithe Streets to general traffic, widening the section to four lanes. Granville Mall is served by the Granville Station of the SkyTrain subway, the busiest station in the SkyTrain system. The transit service on the mall is operated by TransLink. Effective April 24, 2006, the mall between Robson Street and Hastings Street was closed to all traffic, including transit buses, to allow construction of the Canada Line subway and a new station. Buses have now been routed to Seymour Street (northbound) and Howe Street (southbound), each one block away. The mall is expected to reopen in September 2009. Also related to this construction, for the first time since 1974, the 800, 600, and 500 blocks of Granville (between Smithe and Robson, and then again between Georgia and Pender) are open to all traffic, northbound, including on-street metered parking. Before its closure, on weekdays, the Granville Mall was used by over 1,900 buses and 47,500+ transit riders. In the spring of 2006, Vancouver City Council, after studies and consultations, decided on a redesign, to be constructed after completion of the Canada Line subway under the street.
