Westwood Plateau
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Westwood Plateau is the northern region of the City of Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada, bounded by the city boundary with Port Moody to the west, David Avenue to the south, and Pipeline Road to the east.
It lies on 1,400 acres (6 km²) on the southern portion of Eagle Mountain, known locally as Eagle Ridge. It is named for the Westwood raceway which existed on the plateau before the community was built, and was closed in 1990 to make way for the real estate development. During the development of the area several "Street of Dreams" events took place. In recent years the area has gained notoriety for the large number of marijuana grow operations.
