Site of Brentwood Motors part of massive development

The current site of Brentwood Motors and Enterprise Rent-a-Car at 4756 and 4828 Lougheed Hwy will be the subject of a rezoning application (RZ #13-20) to be discussed tomorrow at the Burnaby City Council meeting.  The subject site will include a proposal for the purchase of surrounding City-owned property that extends eastward to Delta Ave and southward to Dawson Ave.  The developer has yet to be identified.

The development will include a combination of high, mid and low-rise apartment buildings along with a commercial component to serve the needs of immediate area residents.  If the proposal gains approval, the stretch of the south side of Lougheed Hwy between Beta and Delta Avenues will look markedly different once completed over multiple phases.  The area to the south along Dawson Avenue will likely see Dawson Avenue  extend straight through between Beta Ave and Douglas Rd.


New elementary school and park space

This development will also lay the groundwork for a future elementary school south of Dawson Ave to meet the needs of a growing residential population south of Lougheed Hwy.  I expect that the school will be built on the site of the large red warehouses known as the Dragonwood Lands near the foot of Beta south of Dawson Ave.  The site of these warehouses is part of the land mentioned in the project writeup for this rezoning reference.

Pedestrian/Cyclist overpass on Beta

One of the requirements of the City of Burnaby is that a pedestrian and cyclist overpass be built over the railroad tracks to connect to Still Creek Ave.  Such an overpass will definitely benefit locals that need to take a quick walk to the Costco rather than having to drive around along Dawson to Willingdon  to get there.  A quick connection to the Central Valley Greenway will also be nice.

Brentwood Motors Makes a Classy Move by Adding U-Haul Rentals

Published: Tuesday, Aug. 2, 2011 - 11:22 am
/PRNewswire/ -- Andreas Gutsch and Sonny Dhanoya, owners of Brentwood Motors, located at 4766 Lougheed Hwy., recently added U-Haul truck and trailer rentals to the used-car sales business he has been operating since January 2011.
Families needing the finest in moving services now will have increased convenience and a shorter distance to travel when moving, which not only will make their move easier but also will have the positive effect of reducing the amount of carbon emissions released into the atmosphere. U-Haul partnering with business owners across North America to increase convenience for customers while helping our environment is just one of the programs that support U-Haul Company's Corporate Sustainability initiatives.
Brentwood Motors can now offer its customers a variety of moving equipment and supplies designed specifically for moving household furnishings, including moving vans, open trailers, closed trailers, furniture pads, appliance dollies, furniture dollies, tow dollies and auto transports. Brentwood Motors also will offer sales items to protect their customers' belongings and make moving easier, such as heavy-duty boxes, which are made of up to 90 percent recycled content and are available in a variety of sizes.
"We already had a strong truck-rental background with a combined 17 years of experience in management of this exciting and growing industry," Gutsch and Dhanoya said. "We welcomed the opportunity to capitalize on this in working together with such a renowned leader such as U-Haul to help us take our business to the next level. "I see it as a unique opportunity for a business to grow faster as one type of business truly complements the other," Andreas said. "U-Haul has helped us increase the traffic onto our lot dramatically, thereby enhancing the most powerful form of advertising – word of mouth! Our 'Classy Move by Adding U-Haul Rentals' was a no-brainer due to our experience and ideal location to service the needs of our customers with outstanding value and exceptional customer service," added co-owner Dhanoya.
