Hastings Street is an east–west traffic corridor in the cities of Vancouver and Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.[2] It used to be a part of the decommissioned Highway 7A. In the central business district of downtown Vancouver, it is known as West Hastings Street; at Carrall Street it becomes East Hastings Street and runs eastwards through East Vancouver and Burnaby. In Burnaby, there is no east-west designation. The street ends in Westridge, a neighbourhood at the foot of Burnaby Mountain where it joins Burnaby Mountain Parkway and diverges from the continuation of the former Highway 7A as the Barnet Highway, to Port Moody, British Columbia.
