3.1.4 Recommendations

       Assuming a community of 45,000 (residents and students) in the areas directly in and around Burnaby Mountain, more Police Stations, Fire Halls and Hospitals will be required to serve the needs of the future community over the next 20 years. Currently, police and hospital services are more than 4 km away, and the nearest fire hall is about 4 km away from Burnaby Mountain. The nearest hospital with emergency services is the Royal Columbian Hospital, 7.5 km away in New Westminster.

       Large-scale commercial activities such as malls are located outside a 4 km radius of Burnaby Mountain, and adjacent future market community services and amenities will require minimum footprint development consideration.
