North Burnaby

It stretches from Boundary Road in the west to Burnaby Mountain with Simon Fraser University in the east and is bounded by Burrard Inlet to the north and the Lougheed Highway to the south.

[citation needed] A number of major arteries run through this neighbourhood, primarily the high-traffic Hastings Street connecting North Burnaby with Downtown Vancouver and Port Moody, Willingdon Avenue linking it to Kingsway and Metrotown, and Kensington Ave going south to Canada Way and New Westminster.

The neighbourhood is served by several bus routes, including the R5 RapidBus, which runs along Hastings Street and provides connections to downtown Vancouver and Simon Fraser University.

[3] The Heights commercial district between Boundary Road and Gamma Avenue is home to several Italian, Portuguese and Chinese restaurants, delis, bakeries and barbershops.

The nearby Madison Centre at Lougheed Highway and Rosser Avenue also contains a number of shops and services, including Save-On-Foods and Winners stores.
