29th Avenue station was opened in 1985 as part of the original SkyTrain system (now known as the Expo Line). The
Austrian architecture firm Architektengruppe U-Bahn was responsible for designing the station. The station is located on the old right-of-way of the former Central Park Line of the
British Columbia Electric Railway. This line formerly ran just west of where
Nanaimo station is today and continued east to where the current
New Westminster station is located. In 2002,
Millennium Line service was introduced to the station, which provided outbound service to
VCC–Clark station (originally
Commercial Drive) via
Columbia station in New Westminster. This service was discontinued and replaced with an Expo Line branch to
Production Way–University station in 2016. In January 2017, upgrades began on the station's bus exchange, which included an additional bus bay to allow all buses to use the bus loop as well as three new crosswalks to improve safety and access. Construction was completed in February 2018. ==Station information==
