## Amenity Distribution in Quayside

Quayside contains 37 mapped amenity points across six categories. Transit stops account for 26 of these points, representing the majority of mapped infrastructure. The remaining points include four recreation sites, two parks, two dog parks, two grocery stores, and one school. This distribution highlights a strong focus on transportation access within the neighbourhood boundary.

The single school point is Fraser River Middle School, while the two grocery options are Save-On-Foods and Safeway. Park spaces include Columbia St Sq Park and Simcoe Park, alongside two designated dog parks. Recreation facilities are listed generically without specific program names or operational details. These mapped points establish physical presence but do not confirm service quality or accessibility levels. Sources:

## Transit Infrastructure Presence

Twenty-six transit stop points are mapped within Quayside, including multiple bays at New Westminster Station. Specific street-level stops appear along Quayside Dr, Columbia St, Carnarvon St, and 12 St. The concentration of station bays suggests a hub function for regional transit connections. However, the data does not specify which routes serve these stops or their operational frequency.

Street-level stops include locations such as Quayside Dr (EB) at Reliance Court and Columbia St (WB) at Royal Ave. Additional points mark entrances to commercial areas like Shops @ New West Entrance. The high count of transit points indicates significant infrastructure density relative to other amenity categories. Without route or schedule data, the practical utility of this network remains unquantified. Sources:

This specific count provides a bounded data point for the city's transaction activity, distinct from broader regional or national housing indicators that do not measure this locality directly.
