缅街 (温哥华)

缅街[1][2](英语:Main Street)是加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华一条主要南北向街道,北起布勒内湾旁的滨海道,南至菲沙河北支流河岸。

走线

缅街北起温哥华港口局的货柜码头,邻近市中心东端煤气镇等历史城区,往南与喜士定街交汇后穿过华埠,再与佐治街和登斯梅街高架桥英语Georgia Viaduct交汇。缅街此后往南延,途经太平洋中央车站缅街-科学世界架空列车站后与终站路(Terminal Avenue)交汇,再抵达快乐山百老汇街以南的一段缅街布满商住楼宇;该带过往主要是蓝领阶层的社区,但已逐步转型成高档消费区,并出现不少古玩店和咖啡室。

33街至41街的一段缅街主要为住宅区,而缅街在纳特·卑利体育馆英语Nat Bailey Stadium女皇公园附近抵达其地理最高点。缅街在41街以南穿过日落区,而缅街夹49街一带则是旁遮普市场英语Punjabi Market, Vancouver的心脏地带,此为南亚裔社群在温哥华的重镇之一。此处以南的缅街再度恢复其住宅区特色,到东南海旁大道(Southeast Marine Drive)的交界则再度出现商用建筑,而海运大道以南至菲沙河岸的缅街两旁则是工业用地。

历史

缅街的北端位于喜士定木厂英语Hastings Mill以西;该带为现温哥华市的发源地。温哥华于1886年设市后,缅街与喜士定街交界处一带成为温市的中心地带,当时的温哥华中央图书馆(现卡内基社区中心)和市政厅皆设于此处。然而,随着市政机构和零售商户在往后年间陆续撤离该区,市中心东端一落千丈,而缅街夹喜士定街也成为市中心东端毒品、娼妓和贫穷问题的代名词。

缅街于百老汇街以北与京士威道交汇;京士威道前称新西敏道,连带缅街的旧称也是西敏大道(Westminster Avenue)。西敏大道夹第9街(即现百老汇街)的商户于20世纪初向市政府请求将该带道路更名以营造繁华气氛;西敏大道遂于1910年改称缅街,并维持至今[3]

缅街过去曾被福溪分成两段,并以一座开启桥连接[4]。随着福溪的东端于1910至20年代被填成陆地,两岸的缅街亦贯通起来,而开启桥亦被拆卸。
