Words "Lulu Island" stamped in cement on a map of interurban tram routes

Look at the ground before the front entrance of the Steveston Tram, and find a large scale map detailing the original stops of the Lulu Island branch of the BC Electric Interurban Railway network.

The tram line, which ran on leased Canadian Pacific Railroad tracks, followed the more developed areas of Richmond along the western side of Lulu Island. If you look closely, you might recognize some of the names of the stations as modern transit stations across Richmond today.

Based on a 1956 map of the tram route from Steveston to Marpole, this map titled “Back on Track” was created by artist Mia Weinberg and installed in 2013.
