UBC is turning into a United Big City of its own. The rise of condos, students,residents who work outside ubc and stores is turning this educational institution into its own entity, perhaps not politically but in reality it is. Already equipped with its own hospital and RCMP force it will soon be, if not already a vibrant community. That means it'll need a better transportation plan then it has now. It needs the Millennium line extension it also needs, perhaps a street car line going all through the UBC lands connecting students and residents from north to south of the ubc lands. Maybe even extending the skytrain to many different parts of UBC, instead of having these community shuttle buses running around which is only a short term solution to a bigger dilemma that will need to be dealt with soon. This community needs more bike paths, childcare,community gardens perhaps even a secondary school. This will soon be a community not just of a prestigious university but of many more things of which we have not yet imagined
