Brentwood — Walkability, Transit, and Commute
A focused reference on walkability + transit in Brentwood, drawn from the broader Brentwood area page — pulled out as its own page so it’s scannable on its own.
Three Millennium Line SkyTrain stations sit inside Brentwood — Gilmore (Lougheed + Gilmore) opened January 7, 2002 with the initial line, while Brentwood Town Centre (Lougheed + Willingdon) and Holdom (Lougheed + Holdom) opened August 31, 2002 with Phase 2. Headways 3–5 minutes peak, 6–8 minutes off-peak. Travel time from Brentwood Town Centre to Commercial-Broadway is ~12 minutes; downtown via the Expo Line transfer is 25–30 minutes door-to-door.
SFU (Burnaby Mountain) is reachable by SkyTrain + 145 bus in ~30 minutes; UBC by SkyTrain + 99 / 49 bus in 50–60 minutes. By car, Highway 1 access via Willingdon and Gilmore puts most addresses 25–40 minutes from downtown. The three-station density is the structural difference between Brentwood and the other Burnaby town centres outside Metrotown.
