  • Burnaby Mountain Gondola Transit Project Success in Integrating Sustainable Transportation and Land Use
    Burnaby Mountain Gondola Transit Project Success in Integrating Sustainable Transportation and Land Use Prepared by: Ian Fisher, Senior Transportation Planner, TransLink Robert Rollin, Senior Project Manager, CH2M HILL Paper prepared for presentation at the Success in Integrating Sustainable Transportation and Land Use Session of the 2011 Annual Conference of the Transportation Association of Canada, Edmonton, Canada Burnaby Mountain Gondola Transit Project Success in Integrating Sustainable Transportation and Land Use Abstract TransLink, with the support of the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and P3 Canada, is reviewing the potential for a high-capacity gondola connecting Burnaby Mountain to the nearest SkyTrain rapid transit station. The mountain accounts for 25,000 daily transit passenger trips and is home to the main campus of Simon Fraser University, with 18,200 students, growing to 25,000 in future, and the UniverCity sustainable community, with residents increasing from 3,000 to 10,000. While the mountain is only 2.7 kilometres from the nearest SkyTrain station, it is almost 300 metres higher in elevation. Approximately 45 diesel buses arrive on the mountain in the peak hour but pass-ups are common and the service is often disrupted in winter weather. An initial study indicated that a high-capacity gondola could replace most of the bus service, with bus cost savings covering the gondola operating cost and a portion of capital. Additionally, a gondola has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase reliability, and cut travel times by one-third, attracting more riders to transit. The costs and benefits, and potential delivery models, are being reviewed in a Business Case completed in summer 2011.

Indigenous History in Burnaby Resource Guide 6501 Deer Lake Ave, Burnaby, BC V5G 3T6 | 604-297-4565 | burnabyvillagemuseum.ca 2019-06-03 The Burnaby School District is thankful to work, play and learn on the traditional territories of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwxwú7mesẖ speaking people. As we inquire into learning more about the history of these lands, we are grateful to Burnaby Village Museum for working with our host First Nation communities. The knowledge being shared in this resource guide through our local communities supports the teaching and learning happening in our classrooms. It deepens our understanding of the history of our community and will increase our collective knowledge of our host First Nations communities’ history in Burnaby. In our schools, this guide will assist in creating place-based learning opportunities that will build pride for our Indigenous learners through the sharing of this local knowledge, but also increase understanding for our non-Indigenous learners. Through this guide, we can move closer to the Truth and Reconciliation’s Call to Action 63 (i and iii): 63. We call upon the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada to maintain an annual commitment to Indigenous education issues, including: i. Developing and implementing Kindergarten to Grade Twelve curriculum and learning resources on Indigenous peoples in Canadian history, and the history and legacy of residential schools. iii. Building student capacity for intercultural understanding, empathy, and mutual respect. We would like extend thanks to Burnaby Village Museum staff for their time and efforts in creating this resource guide.

  • The Forest Carbon Cycle
    The Forest Carbon Cycle: Determining the Carbon Sequestration Potential of the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area Prepared by: Grant Fletcher For: SFU Community Trust July 15th, 2011 The Forest Carbon Cycle: Determining the Carbon Sequestration Potential of the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area This report was prepared as part of a student internship program for SFU Community Trust by Grant Fletcher, a masters candidate in Urban Planning at McGill University. The work was completed under the direction of Dale Mikkelsen, director of development at SFU Community Trust in the summer of 2011.This report seeks to determine the carbon sequestration capabilities of the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area. It focuses on 320ha of forested land transferred to the City of Burnaby in exchange for the development rights to UniverCity, the residential development on Burnaby Mountain. Greenhouse gasses, particularly carbon in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2), are significant contributors to changes occurring in the earth‟s climate1. The sequestration capacity of the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area is determined by examining the absorption and dispersion of carbon through the forest carbon cycle. Background Context UniverCity UniverCity is a master planned sustainable community atop Burnaby Mountain in Metro Vancouver, BC. Designed to be compact, mixed-use and transit-oriented, the idea for the community began in 1963, when Arthur Erickson and Geoff Massey submitted their initial plan for SFU. Complementing their vision for the mountain-top campus, their plan saw the new university anchoring a dense residential community. It took another 30 years before the implementation of this initial plan would begin with SFU agreeing to transfer more than 320 hectares of University-owned land to the City of Burnaby to more than double the size of the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area.

  • Jericho Park Baseline Inventory Report
    Jeri Part 1: Jericho Park Baseline Inventory Report University of British Columbia Masters of Sustainable Forest Management Joanna deMontreuil and Leah Ballin Executive Summary This report is the first of a two part report prepared for the Vancouver Parks Board in partnership with the Department of Forestry at the University of British Columbia. The premises behind the project were to design a baseline inventory methodology for forested parks in Vancouver, and to implement this methodology at one of these parks. Jericho Beach Park was chosen for its proximity to the University, its size, the high potential for restoration and habitat enhancement, and the high level of public investment in the park. Management recommendations based on the findings of this baseline inventory are made in Part 2. Phases of the project included study design, field data collection, data compilation and analysis, limited stakeholder consultation, and formulation of management recommendations. Field data was primarily collected through September and October 2012, and was supported by several site visits made through the winter and into April 2013. The results of the baseline inventory indicate that the vegetation at Jericho Park is largely dominated by non-native species trees and shrubs and aging red alder. Jericho Park has undergone several waves of land disturbance over the past 150 years, resulting in young stands that in some ways are fairly unnatural in composition. The forest at Jericho Park is transitioning from early successional stands dominated by shade intolerant native broadleaf species, to stands of shade tolerant hardwoods dominated by introduced sycamore maple, with smatterings of other exotic species such as horse chestnut and walnut.
