The City of Burnaby is developing a long-term plan to enhance BC Parkway corridor from Boundary Road to the Royal Oak SkyTrain station, referred to as Parkway Alive! The plan explores opportunities to transform the corridor into a vibrant linear park to advance health, wellness and social inclusion with needed public spaces and opportunities for recreation, art, commerce and other amenities that reflect the needs and aspirations of the community.
BC Parkway Corridor
BC Parkway is a 26-kilometre, multi-use path that follows SkyTrain’s Expo Line, from Vancouver to Surrey. It was established as a regional amenity by BC Transit as part of the Expo SkyTrain Line. The corridor is owned by BC Hydro with several legal encumbrances in favour of regional entities and utilities, including TransLink for the Expo Line and the BC Parkway pedestrian and cycling paths.
Recognizing its significance to the City and the Downtown in particular, the Metrotown Downtown Plan (2017) identified the need to develop a unified urban design approach to address the aesthetic and functional requirements of integrating the Parkway with Beresford Street and Central Boulevard.
