A Commercial Strategy for 22nd Street Station Area
Partners: UBC School of Community and Regional Planning, City of New Westminster
Supervisors: Maged Senbel (UBC SCARP), Lynn Roxborough (City of New Westminster)
Team: Laura Chow, Alexandra Heinen, Tru Taylor, Jean Roe
Location: New Westminster, BC
Date: September – March 2020
The future of 22nd Street Station Area looks nothing like the present. Vibrant commercial spaces, pedestrianized streets and apartment towers will define the area currently established as a SkyTrain pass-through surrounded by single detached homes. While preparing for a high density mixed use community, it is critical to understand commercial use. The 22nd Street Station Area Commercial Strategy provides research, analysis and recommendations for commercial opportunities around 22nd Street Station in New Westminster and will inform the future area Master Plan. This strategy is intended for the City of New Westminster but is relevant to future and current residents, transit riders, business owners, developers and local organizations in the area.
