History of the Neighborhood

Metrotown has quickly become one of the most densely populated areas in the Lower Mainland but it also holds an interesting history. Previously known as the Kingsway-Sussex area, in the 1950’s-1960’s this was one of the most settled neighborhoods in Burnaby. Firstly, the area offered an array of vantage points for residents to enjoy. Secondly, being within such close vicinity to Vancouver and a busy corridor in-between Vancouver and New Westminster made this a prime location for the working class family. At this time the advancements in urban convenience were slowly making their way into Burnaby. For instance, strip malls, housing, developments, and services. This included but was not limited to Sears and Ford. Two of the biggest names of the era.

In 1974, it was finally agreed upon that the Town Centre Model should be moved to become Metrotown. It was not until 1977 when the development plan was finally released. Further to that, this changed the demographic from single family homes, to put emphasis on developments, townhomes, condos, and apartments. Meanwhile, with years of planning, the original Metrotown proposal has become unrecognizable. In order to leave space for rapid transit, and with property lines remaining almost identical to 1956, many adjustments were made. Metrotown Shopping Center was finally open in 1986 shortly after the adjacent Metrotown SkyTrain Station.

After that, in 2002 the two buildings of the town center merged by destroying the passageway and renovating them into one shopping experience. The Metrotown neighborhood continued to grow and has turned into one of the busiest transit destinations in the Lower Mainland. Further negotiations with Translink in recent years will improve this even more. The new vision is to focus more on pedestrian accessibility mainly surrounding the Metrotown Skytrain sector.
