Not to mention these lands could have also had direct freeway truck only access to the #1 via the Gateway project until Burnaby nixed that plan due to their wish to re-zone. That was a huge benefit of this industrial area that it was close to mass transit, close to where people live and close to the freeway for commercial traffic.

industry was leaving that area on its own anyway its mostly light and still mixed in there
this spot was a canadian tire some of the other spots were car dealerships or sat empty for many years
