  • Commercial Drive is a roadway in the city of Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada that extends from Powell Street at its northern extremity, near the waterfront, south through the heart of the Grandview–Woodland neighbourhood to the Victoria Diversion near Trout Lake. The neighbourhood is so dominated by the businesses, cultural facilities, and residents along Commercial Drive that the area is far better known as "The Drive" than by the civic boundaries. The district is one of Vancouver's Business Improvement Areas (BIA). The district is served by many different bus routes, as well as both the SkyTrain's Expo Line and Millennium Line at Commercial–Broadway Station. Commercial Drive is a mixed residential-commercial area with a high proportion of ethnic and vegetarian restaurants, businesses, and public housing. The area has low property prices compared to the westside of Vancouver, yet has good city services and is a local transit hub. It has been the destination for generations of immigrants to Vancouver and has significant Italian, Asian, Latin America, East Indian, and African communities. As of the Canada 2001 Census, English is a minority language in Grandview-Woodland, though still the most common. Commercial Drive has many local ethnic stores and community groups, Edwardian-style heritage buildings, European-style cafes, bars, and alternative shops and entertainment venues. As of late August 2007, there are 93 restaurants on Commercial Drive between Venables and Broadway, of which 19 are coffee bars. It is home to an active street festival culture; notable annual events include the Vancouver Dyke March in August and the Parade of Lost Souls in October. It also plays host to Vancouver's only queer spoken word and musician performance night, Unsweetened (and Outspoken). (en)
  • 金馬素街(英語:Commercial Drive)是加拿大卑詩省溫哥華一條主要南北向街道,北起布勒内灣旁的加拿大太平洋鐵路路軌,南至東18街並駁上域多利街。此外,東18街以南和域多利街以西有另一條名為「Commercial Street」(意譯為「商業街」)的街道,自此往南延至東55街為止。金馬素街和百老匯東街的交界處為架空列車金馬素-百老匯站所在:此站為博覽線和千禧線的交匯處,並是整個架空列車系統中人流最多的車站。 金馬素街本名為公園路(Park Drive),以坐落此街道南端的克拉克公園(Clark Park)命名,於1870和80年代(即溫哥華建市前後)是伐木工人將木材運送到布勒内灣畔喜士定木廠的主要運輸線之一。連接溫哥華、本拿比和二埠的市際電車線於1891年開通,當中部分路段途經公園路,並吸引居民和商戶到公園路沿線落戶。有見該帶的發展潛力大為上升,東18街以南的一連串南北向街道率先於1910年更名為「Commercial Street」,而公園路則於1911年改為現稱。 第二次世界大戰過後,溫哥華東區成為意大利裔移民落戶的熱門地點,當中不少選擇到金馬素街沿線定居,令金馬素街北段獲得「小意大利」的稱號。為了紀念意大利統一運動中主要人物之一朱塞佩·加里波第逝世100周年,該區的意大利裔居民和商戶於1982年6月向溫哥華市政府申請將金馬素街更名為加里波第街(Via Garibaldi)。然而,沿線部分商戶因更名所帶來的額外開支而反對這項建議,而市内亦已有另一條街道以加里波第為名,因此市政府沒有受理這項申請。 (zh)
