Brentwood, Edmonds and Lougheed became a battleground for Real Estate developers. Up to now, around the Metrotown, more than 10 buildings are proposed and under construction of 30 layers more high-rise apartments while the upgradation of Metrotown Skytrain Station is in process at the same time. Why is Burnaby flooded with high-rise apartments? Burnaby is in the heart of the Greater Vancouver region with excellent connections, the shortest time for the Millennium line to Vancouver and one of the

stops at 2 locations in Maple Ridge – River Road and Dunn Road. It also makes a stop at neighbouring Pitt Meadows. SkyTrain Currently there is no SkyTrain service available in Maple Ridge and there are no plans to extend the SkyTrain to the city in the future. However, the Evergreen Line which will be completed by the end of 2016 will be an extension to the already existing SkyTrain lines and will connect to Coquitlam Station. This will benefit the residents of Maple Ridge who use bus to service

Research Paper: Douglas C-47 “Gooney Bird” The C-47 was the lead plane of the 37th troop carrier squadron, dropping elements of the 82nd airborne division near St. Mere Eglise, France in the early hours of June 6th, 1944. June 6th is formally known as D Day. The C-47 was very important to aviation or even the most important because over 13,000 planes were sold, it was one of the most successful cargo planes, every branch of the U.S military and all the major allied powers flew it during World War

Dr. Jackson Geography 449 Gentrification, ‘A Brief History’ Human Geographer David Ley defines Gentrification as “the transition of inner-city neighborhoods from a status of relative property and limited property investment to a state of commodification and reinvestment.” (Ley Artists 1) In the past 50 years gentrification has swept over cities across the globe and has completely reshaped the way people think about why people live in certain neighborhoods. British sociologist Ruth Glass coined

Richmond is also inside a large mall with many asian stores and restaurants. This may influence the people who are already inside the mall to shop at H-Mart for groceries. In addition to H-Mart being located inside a mall, they are also right beside a SkyTrain station, which makes it easily accessible to people from areas other than Richmond. It’s also very accessible

Strathcona has a significantly higher percentage of people who bike, walk, and take transit to work compared to Vancouver as a whole. There are a few reasons why this may be. Firstly, Strathcona is next to the Main Street Science World skytrain station. Secondly, as a residential area there are few busy roads and many bike paths that allow for safer travel. Thirdly, there are also several low income housing complexes; people who live in them will not have the income level to maintain a car. Finally

Metro Vancouver is home to a diverse culture that is continuously increasing as more immigrants migrate to Metro Vancouver and call it home. As the population increases, more traffic congestions are occurring throughout Metro Vancouver. Due to this, Metro Vancouver claims through an increase to transit services and enhancement of roads, the traffic congestions will decrease. In addition, Metro Vancouver has proposed that the costs of the construction be paid through an additional 0.5 percent charge

Leaving the docks, we passed New Westminster’s Pier Park and were afforded unique views of the Railway Bridge, Skytrain Bridge and of course the Patullo Bridge. I wondered what the early settlers would think of our modern day infrastructure, these marvels of steel and cables. Fighting the current, we continued upstream. Our little vessel fought valiantly, yet the

II makes it one of the most significant transport aircraft ever made. The DC-3 was a twin-engine metal monoplane, developed as a larger, improved 14-bed sleeper version of the Douglas DC-2. However, together with its military derivative, the C-47 Skytrain over 16,000 were built. Large numbers continue to see service in a wide variety well into the 21st century. Approximately 400 DC-3s and converted C-47s are still flying to this day as a testament to the durability of the design, many examples being

Building construction in the Lower Mainland is at an all-time high. More than 37,000 units are now being built to meet the demand of a rapidly growing population, most in high-rise towers that will increase population density throughout the region. That construction brings noise, but those disturbances are temporary. As people, and their cars, move into the new condos and townhomes, the city will likely face an increase in ambient noise levels, which can disturb sleep, increase stress response
