Lincoln is an elevated station on the Millennium Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system in Coquitlam, British Columbia. It is located on Pinetree Way, situated between Lincoln and Northern Avenues. Coquitlam Centre and Henderson Place shopping centres are located within walking distance from the station.

History

Lincoln station was opened in 2016 along with five other stations when the Millennium Line's Evergreen Extension was completed.[1] [2] [3] The station was designed by the architecture firm Perkins+Will.[4]

The initial plan for the extension did not include Lincoln station as it was determined that Coquitlam Central station would be sufficiently close to the nearby shopping centres and various amenities; however, the owners of the Coquitlam Centre mall and the developers of other nearby residential projects wanted a closer station. As a result, the station was added to the project and the requesting parties paid the $28-million cost for its construction.[5] [6]
