Modo Moves

Lower Mainland

Burnaby — Capitol Hill 

NEW LOCATION at Capitol & Springer: A white 2016 Honda Fit (#837) now lives in the 5100 block of Capitol Drive, between Glynde Avenue & Springer Avenue. 

Burnaby — Lougheed

Vancouver — Fairview

We no longer have vehicles at The Rise or Fairview Vancity. 

The grey Nissan Versa (#438) has moved from Fairview Vancity to City Hall Surface Lot.

The blue-grey Nissan Sentra (#566), the white Nissan Sentra (#508), and the blue Mazda 2 (#360) have all moved from Fairview Vancity to a new location at City Hall - Cambie & 12th Ave. 

Since we now have two clusters of cars along the upper deck of City Hall, we've renamed them City Hall - Cambie & 12th Ave and City Hall - Yukon & 12th Ave so that they're easier to tell apart.
