Parking changes are coming to Burquitlam ahead of the opening of the Evergreen Extension later this year.
Currently, there are no restrictions within 400 m of the new SkyTrain station but the city is looking at implementing some one- to four-hour time limits on many of the streets in the surrounding area.
Staff will also be monitoring streets that are further away, including Tyndall and Claremont, to see if restrictions are required.
Similar changes will also be seen around Lougheed Station in the neighbourhoods east of North Road.
Engineering staff will put up one- to four-hour time limit limits along parts of Rochester Avenue, Westview Street and Whiting Way while parts of Dansey, Cochrane, and Rochester avenues as well as Clayton Street will be monitored for potential future changes.
Last month, the city conducted the first phase of its parking restrictions for the City Centre neighbourhood.
Residential streets near Lafarge Lake-Douglas Station — including Westwood, Eastwood and Glen Drive, which currently have no restrictions — will now have one- to four-hour parking and pay parking in some cases. Pay parking will also be introduced on Lincoln and Anson avenues as well as Ponderosa Street.
The streets south of Coquitlam Central Station, including Norman Avenue, parts of Dewdney Trunk Road and some adjoining side streets, will be assessed after the Evergreen opening to see if further parking restrictions are required.
Staff said they will also be monitoring to see the impact the SkyTrain has on neighbourhoods once the line is operational.
