Abbotsford – The City of Abbotsford, in partnership with the Province and BC Transit, is pleased to announce a new transit exchange is opening in the Highstreet area of Mt. Lehman Road. Bus service to the exchange is expected to begin Sunday, September 6, 2026, with final construction and landscaping work being completed in coming months.
Located on Highstreet Access Road near the Highstreet Shopping Centre, between Mt. Lehman Road and Cardinal Avenue, the new transit exchange will improve connections for growing neighbourhoods in the Mt. Lehman area and throughout Abbotsford and will provide residents with improved access to public transit.
The new exchange will open with five new bus bays which will serve both local and regional routes – including the Fraser Valley Express. The exchange will also feature new transit shelters with bench seating, a multi-use pathway on the north side of the road, enhanced street lighting and bike racks. Additional features still under construction include a sixth bus bay, connection of the multi-use pathway to Mt. Lehman Road, a washroom building for transit operators, public plaza spaces with additional trees, bench seating and landscaping.
The $8.1 million project was funded in part thanks to a $3.2 million investment by the Province of BC through BC Transit.
This new infrastructure will support the City’s growth in the transit network, accommodate increased service levels and improve customer experience for riders. This project is part of Abbotsford City Council’s 2022-2026 Strategic Plan to create a community that is inclusive and connected through convenient and affordable transportation with vibrant commercial centres.
