Walkability + transit
Burquitlam — Walkability, Transit, and Commute
A focused reference on walkability + transit in Burquitlam, drawn from the broader Burquitlam area page — pulled out as its own page so it’s scannable on its own.
Two Millennium Line SkyTrain stations anchor the corridor: Burquitlam Station (Coquitlam side, opened December 2, 2016 with the Evergreen Extension) and Lougheed Town Centre Station (Burnaby side, Millennium + Expo Line interchange). Downtown Vancouver is 35–45 minutes by SkyTrain via the Expo Line transfer; SFU is reachable from Burquitlam Station via the TransLink 145 bus in ~15 minutes during academic terms.
By car, downtown is 30–50 minutes via Highway 1 + the bridges depending on time of day. SFU is 10–15 minutes up Gaglardi / Burnaby Mountain Parkway. The combination of two TOD stations + SFU proximity is why the corridor has the largest single residential redevelopment programme in Coquitlam this decade.
