Hastings Street is an east–west traffic corridor in the cities ofVancouver andBurnaby, British Columbia, Canada.^[2] It used to be a part of the decommissionedHighway 7A. In the central business district ofdowntown Vancouver, it is known asWest Hastings Street; at Carrall Street it becomesEast Hastings Street and runs eastwards throughEast Vancouver and Burnaby. In Burnaby, there is no east-west designation. The street ends inWestridge, a neighbourhood at the foot ofBurnaby Mountain where it joinsBurnaby Mountain Parkway and diverges from the continuation of the former Highway 7A as the Barnet Highway, toPort Moody, British Columbia.

Formally named in 1885 for Rear-AdmiralGeorge Fowler Hastings of theRoyal Navy,^[3] the street runs past such well-known Vancouver landmarks as theMarine Building, theVancouver Club,Sinclair Centre,Harbour Centre (once Spencer's, Eaton's, then Sears and now the downtown campus ofSimon Fraser University),Dominion Building andVictory Square (the location of the city's original courthouse) and theWoodward's Building; located in the old Dunn's Tailors building at Homer and West Hastings is the campus of theVancouver Film School, while on the corner of Cambie is the Carter-Cotton Building, the former headquarters of theVancouver Province newspaper. East of Woodward's, the street forms the heart of Vancouver's historic original downtown, once known as the Great White Way because of its neon displays, and which is today theDowntown Eastside. Through the East End, after a stretch of warehouse-type commercial and wholesale businesses, the street forms one of the commercial cores for Vancouver's Italian community in a mixed-ethnicity retail area in the area of Nanaimo Street, just east of which thePacific National Exhibition andPlayland are on the city of Vancouver's eastern fringe. After leaving Vancouver, Hastings forms the core of a Burnaby retail neighbourhood known as the Heights and then traversesCapitol Hill to the Lochdale and Westridge areas.

From west to east.
