I think that some of the recent projects have shown that Burnaby has seen the light. I love how they've set back the buildings in the blocks around Highgate mall to leave lovely wide walkways. And you can see the same thing around Metrotown. Unfortunately, the wide sidewalks in front of Metrotown are rather unappealing because they suffer from the same inward-facing development that's prevalent in so much of Surrey. Highgate is so much more engaging for the pedestrian.
