Northwest Burke Vision

Coquitlam is one of the fastest growing Cities in the Lower Mainland and is expected to grow by an additional 90,000 to 95,000 new residents over the next 30 years. The majority of this growth is planned for two major areas: the Evergreen Line rapid transit corridor, where it's expected that two-thirds of new residents will live; in the Lougheed, Burquitlam, and City Centre neighbourhoods... ...and Burke Mountain, where it's estimated that about one-third of new residents - just over 30,000 people - will reside when the neighbourhood is complete. Since the 1990's, Burke Mountain has been defined as an area for population growth in local plans. To date, 4 neighbourhood plans have been created: the Upper Hyde Creek, Lower Hyde Creek, Smiling Creek, and Partington Creek neighbourhoods.
