A reference map of Vancouver's Cambie Street/Boulevard shows it from the city's downtown (in the north) to its intersection with Marine Drive in the south. The Cambie Boulevard Heritage Society, www.savecambie.org is protesting plans that would result in the destruction of a boulevard designated as a heritage park to build a below / above ground rapid transit line. The society argues that the existing "Arbutus Rail Corridor" is a much better alternative route. See the Cambie Boulevard Heritage Society's web site at www.SaveCambie.org for a collection of photos comparing and contrasting the Arbutus rail corridor route and the current Cambie street/boulevard (proposed route) as alternatives for building a rapid transit link from Richmond (airport) to downtown Vancouver.
