Cambie Street (MAP) |
Cambie Street is a street in Vancouver BC
There are two distinct sections of the street. North of
False Creek, the street
runs northeast to southwest, as such, the street actually runs perpendicular to
the Cambie Street Bridge, and there is no seamless connection between the two.
Instead, Nelson Street carries southbound traffic onto the bridge, and Smithe
Street carries northbound traffic away from the bridge.
The downtown section of Cambie Street runs from Water Street in
Gastown in the north to Pacific
Boulevard in Yaletown in the south and
is a two-way street for its length.
Places of interest would be
Queen Elizabeth Park,
Plaza 500 Hotel which is
across the street from Vancouver's
City Hall at 12th and Cambie.
If you are heading into Downtown Vancouver along Cambie you will cross over
the Cambie Street Bridge and if you bear right you will find yourself the Plaza
of Nations, GM Place ,
BC Place Stadium, and Edgewater Casino.
Nearby Hotels would include:
Westin Grand Hotel Vancouver
Rosedale on Robson
Residence Inn Vancouver
Georgian Court Hotel
Hampton Inn Downtown
Vancouver
Opus Hotel Yaletown
South of False Creek, the street is a major 6-lane arterial road, and runs as
a 2-way north-south thoroughfare according to the street grid for the rest of
Vancouver. Between King Edward Avenue West and Southwest Marine Drive, the
street is a 10 metre wide boulevard with gardens, extensive trees and park space
on it.
