Gilmore station is an elevated stop on the Millennium Line within Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit network, situated on Gilmore Avenue in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.
Positioned next to several high-rise condominium projects, the station lies within the Brentwood Town Centre Development Plan area, which seeks to redevelop the site from predominantly light industrial and low-density commercial spaces into a dynamic urban hub.
Structure and design
Opened in 2002 as part of the Millennium Line's initial phase, Gilmore station consists of two side platforms supported by an elevated framework. The architectural design was created by Busby and Associates, who also designed Brentwood Town Centre station. Dominion Construction was awarded a $14.3-million contract covering the construction of Gilmore station, Brentwood Town Centre station, and the Gilmore power substation.
The station's structural elements, made from wood and metal, were intentionally designed to allow straightforward dismantling and modification. This approach ensures the original architectural vision remains intact while providing flexibility for future SkyTrain expansions or nearby development changes.
Entrances
There is one entrance to Gilmore station, located at the southwest end, at the intersection of Gilmore Avenue and Dawson Street's northeast corner.
