Final Project: Planning TransLink stations from Arbutus station to UBC

In this project, we will be using ArcGIS to map the ideal Skytrain route for the proposed Translink plan from Arbutus station to UBC.

In the project, we will be mapping population within a census tract and using land use classification to determine constraints for developing Skytrain station. We want to minimize the walking distance between residential areas and areas without access to transportation to our proposed Skytrain station. We discovered some great results to highlight locations that are ideal for proposed Skytrain stations, and we took into account for the time/distance gap between each station to make a route that is the most efficient as possible.
