Main Street (MAP) |
Main Street in Vancouver runs North to South, beginning at
Port of Vancouver terminals near Downtown Eastside and
Gastown, the street passes south,
intersecting Hastings Street and on through
Chinatown . South of here, Main
intersects the Georgia Viaduct and travels under the Main Street
Skytrain Station.
At Main Street and Terminal Avenue in Vancouver, you will find
Science World a favourite family
destination offering entertaining and interactive educational experiences. The
Pacific Central Station (intercity bus and rail station) are found on either
side of Main Station, at the foot of
False Creek.
At Terminal Avenue it rises into the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood of the city,
and a mixture of small commercial and light industrial businesses. Past
Broadway, the street passes through a mixed
residential and commercial district. Just north of 49th Avenue Main begins to
pass through the heart of the Punjabi Market district. South of here to
Southeast Marine Drive, the street again becomes predominantly residential.
As the street approaches Marine, the character changes dramatically to large
commercial establishments, notably a big-box Real Canadian Superstore
supermarket. Just south of Marine to its southern terminus, the neighbourhood is
a mixture of light and heavy industry and warehouses.
