Trans Mountain Pipeline Project
Trans Mountain is conducting work related to the pipeline expansion project near Government Street, between Horne Street and the Burnaby Mountain Urban Trail. Pre-construction work has already started and construction is slated to continue through December 2022. During construction, Government Street will be closed to traffic and a detour will be in place for approximately six months. Temporary trail detours will also be in place along the Burnaby Mountain Urban Trail in some areas.
Hastings St: curb lane changes near Gilmore Ave
We're temporarily modifying parking on 2 blocks of Hastings St (4000 and 4100 blocks). This is to accommodate 3 restaurant applications to the City's Active Sidewalks, Open Businesses program to create outdoor dining space. A total of 12 parking spots have been removed on the north side of Hastings near Gilmore. The local and rapid bus stops at Gilmore have been relocated 1 block west to Macdonald Ave. The high occupancy vehicle lane is also being moved from the curb lane to the centre lane. To ensure these changes don't disrupt other businesses, we've added 2 new parking spots on Gilmore. The parking restrictions on adjacent side streets have been adjusted to improve turnover.
Broadway St improvements
There is currently a full road closure on Broadway between Duthie Ave and Phillips Ave. The road will be fully closed on Broadway for approximately four months while a new storm system is installed, complete with a full road reconstruction and widening. Access to all driveways within this affected area will be maintained with the use of traffic control persons. Broadway between Phillips Ave and Lake City Way is open to local traffic only (expect delays).
