CENTRAL VALLEY GREENWAY IHP Established 2000 Size 0.52 acres location Trail head in Lower Hume Park Braid Street Skytrain Station Ammenities • Level 650 m hiking trail along treed path • Path can accommodate walkers, joggers and on-leash dog walking • Birds and native plantings provide peaceful and natural environment In 2000, the City of New Westminster partnered with Translink and adjacent cities to create the Central Valley Greenway to connect Vancouver to New Westminster via Burnaby. This seamless greenway network will allow the public to walk, cycle and watch wildlife throughout the region and was ofﬁ cially opened to the public in 2009. The Central Valley Greenway was integrated with utility development to take advantage of sizable linear corridors comprising Metro Vancouver’s water and sewer network. Its creation further implements New Westminster’s vision to provide an integrated waterfront park linking the New Westminster Quay Espla- nade, Queensborough dykes and Sapperton Landing. The greenway starts at Sapperton Landing and winds through the streets of the Brunette industrial area. From here the Greenway links with a trail adjacent to the calm and dark waters of the Brunette River before connecting to Hume Park. The trail then follows the river into Burnaby before reaching Burnaby Lake Regional Nature Park. 16 Parks & Recreation History of Park Sites and Facilities Behind the Name…Central Valley Greenway: There is no secret to this origin of this park name as it is taken from Burnaby’s Central Valley which is home to Burnaby and Deer Lakes and the waterways, which ﬂ ow into the Fraser River.

The first link went to ‘Surreal Estate,’ an online column in the San Francisco Chronicle by Carol Lloyd. The article - "Blame It on Canada“ - is still active. PT was a bit of self-promotion. The Chronicle column featured an interview with me, but mainly as a foil for Carol's observations on the Vancouver Style and what it might mean for San Francisco.
