22nd Street is an elevated station on the Expo Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. It is located on 7th Avenue and 22nd Street in the Connaught Heights neighbourhood of New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada. Due to its proximity to the Queensborough interchange, where the Queensborough Bridge meets with Stewardson and Marine Ways, the station serves as a hub for regional bus routes. History 22nd Street 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. 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 February 2019, upgrades began on the station's bus exchange, which included adding enhanced lighting and a larger waiting area to reduce overcrowding. In April 2019, TransLink installed its first-ever charging station for its future fleet of battery electric buses at the station's bus exchange. Construction on the $2.8-million upgrade was completed in July 2019. Services 22nd Street bus loop is the terminus for a number of various regional bus routes serving Vancouver, Surrey, North Delta, Richmond and Langley. Local connections to Queensborough Landing and Uptown New Westminster are also available at this station.
