Kingsway Street |
Kingsway is a major road that crosses through Vancouver
and Burnaby.
It is a busy commercial city street that runs diagonally from northwest to
southeast, emerging from Vancouver's Main Street
and becoming 12th Street at the Burnaby-New Westminster border.
Kingsway is one of the longest roads in the Greater Vancouver area and is
therefore somewhat difficult to characterize. Many segments of the road offer
diverse family-owned and ethnic shopping opportunities and restaurants
particularly Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Taiwanese, Japanese and other
Southeast Asian nations. And there are a number of hotels, like the
Best Western Kings,
Hilton Vancouver Metrotown,
Holiday Inn Express Burnaby,
Ramada Hotel Burnaby,
and the Cassandra Hotel in Vancouver.
Apartments, Supermarkets, Car Dealerships and freestanding fast-food locations
along other portions of its route.
Kingsway is also home to Metrotown
Centre and Burnaby's central business district.
Skytrain runs along a major portion of Kingsway and has a major station at
Metrotown. There are numerous bus routes operating along the road and it is the
principal route between Metrotown and
Downtown Vancouver.
At Kingsway and Boundary you will find
Central Park,
Central Park Pitch & Putt
and Swangard Stadium home of the
Vancouver Whitecaps. |
