We are on the corner of Kingsway and Rupert, at #11-3003 Kingsway (right beside Salon Supreme). Please see the maps and images below for our location, parking instructions, highlights of accessibility concerns, and nearby transit stops.
Getting here:
Driving:
Our parking lot can only be accessed by turning right while heading North West down Kingsway, as there is a median preventing left turns when travelling in the opposite direction. There is no parking lot access from Rupert Street.
Joyce Skytrain Station is located a 10-20 minute walk away. There is a slight hill at the final portion of the walk.
The 019 Stanley Park/Metrotown bus runs down Kingsway and stops very close to the shop.
The 026 Joyce Station/29th Avenue Station bus also stops nearby.
The 041 and R4 buses stop along 41st avenue, a 10-20 minute walk away.
Transit:
Unfortunately the building we are in was built in the 80’s and was not designed with consideration for mobility issues or other needs. I have attempted to mark potential concerns on the picture below.
There is a narrow ramp in the parking lot which may be difficult to navigate with wider mobility aids, especially if the bushes are overgrown or if other people park irresponsibly. One parking stall is designated as an “accessible” stall and marked as such, however it is more narrow than the rest of the stalls so it’s, honestly, a little useless. The lower portion of the parking lot is connected by stairs, but you could walk/roll up (just be mindful of cars). Besides the ramp, there are no curb cuts within the complex. You can access the front of the shop from the sidewalk along Kingsway without encountering a curb or step.
The door is manually operated and may be a bit heavy for some folks. Our washroom is also quite small and cannot accommodate a full-sized wheelchair, but it is equipped with a grab bar.
If you have any concerns about accessibility, please reach out and I will make sure that your concerns and needs are addressed and (to the best of my ability) accommodated. I understand that asking for accommodations can be uncomfortable, but please know that I am more than happy to go out of my way to make sure everyone can access my services.
