W 41st Ave HISTORY + USES • The site was used as an army barracks until it was converted to a transit centre in August 1948. • At its peak, the OTC was home to 244 trolley and 182 diesel buses, and over 1,200 staff. • Most services were moved out in 2006 when the Vancouver Transit Centre was completed on the Eburne Lands in South Vancouver. • Today the OTC is used temporarily for community shuttle services, commissioning and decommissioning of buses, and storage. FUTURE OF THE SITE • In February 2014, City Council approved a planning program to create a new vision for the OTC site, which will explore building heights and densities beyond what was contemplated in the OLPS.
