However, if you skip Brentwood as chowhou suggests, or skip the PNE by crossing the inlet sooner your number would be more accurate. I guess it depends on a) how much of Hastings is served (if a separate Hastings line is soon to follow this line you can get away with just one or two interchange stations on Hastings, and b) how much future density Burnaby wants to serve on Willingdon. If we're talking downtown-level 800m spacings you could see stations on Willingdon at Central, Bond, Deer Lake, Canada Way, Lougheed, Parker, and Hastings. And with two large Town Centres and a university campus in between, I'd love the all of the Willingdon line to be built with more future density in mind, not less.

I understand your reasons for skipping Brentwood but I really hate it :

I would recommend moving the BCIT Station to Canada Way instead of Goard.

Goard and Canada Way are both highly used by BCIT students anyways, and Canada Way is more useful for bus transfers from Hwy 1 and Canada Way.
