Little miss squeaky clean takes a walk.
Yes indeed, some of the young Chinese women squeak & shriek as they fearfully walk the glass path.

With its microwave receptors at 338 m (1,109 ft.) and at the 553.33m (1,815 ft., 5 inches) antenna, the CN Tower swiftly solved the communications problems with room to spare and as a result, people living in the Toronto area now enjoy some of the clearest reception in North America.
http://www.cntower.ca/en-ca/about-us/history/astounding.html
2011 – The first of its kind in North America, EdgeWalk is the world’s highest full circle hands-free walk on a 5 ft (1.5 m) wide ledge encircling the top of the CN Tower’s main pod, 356m, (1168 ft, 116 stories) above the ground.
It takes only 58 seconds to get from the base of the tower to the LookOut level, which stands 1,136 feet in the sky.
Visit the middle observation deck (1,122 feet high)

Could the Lions Gate Bridge be closed to vehicle traffic by 2030?
"However, there is one major caveat with the plan. For the shutdown to occur, the agreement stipulates that a new replacement crossing across Burrard Inlet from Vancouver to the North Shore would have to be constructed."
http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2015/04/lions-gate-bridge-close-vehicle-traffic-2030-government-agreement
"Any crossing replacement or expansion option would have to consider the reality that downtown Vancouver’s street grid does not possess the capacity to handle a significant increase in vehicle traffic volume. This could be further exacerbated by the City’s plan to demolish the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts, which will redirect traffic to other adjacent arterial streets." https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/lions-gate-bridge-close-vehicle-traffic-2030-government-agreement
Traffic on the Lions_Gate_Bridge should be replaced with a 6-8 lane road tunnel and a double track train tunnel. Then the LGB could become a fine bike & foot crossing.

Brentwood and Oakridge Centre
B is a bustling area in Burnaby.
O is a secondary commercial, retail & residential hub in Vancouver.
NW and BC
Unfortunately for most of its history, New_Westminster never saw it self as that much of a hub city in-between Burnaby & Coquitlam, Richmond & Surrey. Things have been slowly changing in recent decades.
