Interesting to note that Intracorp Developments Ltd got approval for a 206 unit development in the Foster Ave area. This is in the 514-554 Foster Ave, but no word on where those people go. The Burquitlam Community Garden will, however, be expanded. Is that the "gimme"? No word on increased parks, community programs, schools. Oh wait, we have transit. That must make it all better. There is a public hearing set for July 22 for the rezoning application.
Received an email from the BCA strongly opposing this. But there has been little from other members of that area. It will be interesting to see if this gets pushed through as is, or if Intracorp will at least offer some community concessions to placate the neighbourhood.
Burquitlam is a community in Coquitlam, BC, which is a suburb in the metro Vancouver area. Burquitlam is slated to be one of the new stations on the Evergreen Line which will undoubtedly impact the community. Burquitlam is boundaried by North Road on the West, Chapman Ave on the North, Blue Mountain on the East and Hwy 1 on the South. The image is an artist rendering of the proposed station and will be replaced with the real one when that happens.

Watching the construction
The Evergreen Line construction has a webcam (well two, actually). You can view the construction at http://wcs.pbaeng.com/projects/R1_Transit
There are also some updates here http://www.evergreenline.gov.bc.ca/ which give cute little pictures, FWIW.
