The Evergreen Line has faced a lot of delays with the lines opening and was originally suppose to open in 2009 (Same year as the Canada Line) however the Canada Line opened 3 months ahead of schedule and on time for the 2010 Winter Olympics where the Evergreen Line got pushed back to 2011 then in 2008 it was pushed again from 2011 to 2014 and in 2011 it was yet again pushed back from 2014 to 2016 then in 2012 construction on the Evergreen Line has begun then in November 2015 the Evergreen Line was again pushed back from 2016 to Early 2017 and shortly after that the Evergreen Line was renamed to Millennium Line Evergreen Extension. Then in the summer of 2016 TransLink announce that the Evergreen Extension will open before Xmas 2016.
