Gourt Home::Gourt :: Burrard Street
Burrard Street is a major thoroughfare in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is the central street of Downtown and the Financial District.
The street starts at Canada Place near the Burrard Inlet, then runs southwest through downtown Vancouver. It crosses False Creek via the Burrard Street Bridge. South of False Creek, on what used to be called Cedar Street before the completion of the bridge, the street runs due south until the intersection with West 16th Avenue.
Before the Burrard Street Bridge was built in 1932 Burrard Street only ran though downtown. After the bridge was built it connected to Cedar Street in the south. Burrard was simply extended and Cedar Street disappeared.
Burrard Street is served by SkyTrain's Burrard Station, located near the intersection with Dunsmuir Street.
