Directions From Airport to PNE
Ok, this may not be the quickest way but it will be easy, with little chance of getting lost.
From the Airport
*Head East towards Arthur Lang Bridge. Stay in the right hand lane.
*While on the Bridge take the SW Marine Drive Exit, heading east. NOTE: For some strange reason I think the Exit is labelled something besides SW Marine Drive, but whatever it is, you want to go EAST, towards Cambie street.
NOTE: SW Marine Drive automagically turns into SE Marine Drive. Just past Cambie. Its one of those FUN? Vancouver things
*Keep driving past Cambie St. and Main St.
*Once past Main, get into the Left Hand Lane.
*Take a Left on FRASER Street ( North )
*Head North on Fraser about 20 odd blocks, You will want to be in the Right hand Lane.
*Take a right at 49th Avenue (east) and Get into the Left hand Lane.
*Drive about 10 Blocks and Take a left (north)at KNIGHT Street. It's your next MAJOR Road - 6 lanes. Its a major trucking route N/S for the city.
*You're going to be on Knight for a while, stay in the Centre lane, that way you wont get caught in left hand turn messes.
NOTE: Knight automagically turns into Clarke, just past 15 Av. See more fun.
*Keep driving along, once you get past 1st Avenue you are starting to get "Close"
*Keep driving past Veneables, next major road.
*Keep driving thru the next major street. HASTINGS, but be in the Right hand lane. Do NOT go over the bridge, go to the right of it.
*Stay right and take a right onto POWELL St. You can only go left or right at POWELL.
*Keep driving along Powell, past Commercial Drive, Victoria Drive.
*After Victoria, you're close to your next big decision.
*One you start going up the big hill, keep to the right.
*You want to go straight thru the Intersection of Nanaimo and Powell. Watch the Signs, There are 2 Left Turn lanes here! Go STRAIGHT!
* You are now on Dundas Street Automagically again. Keep driving straight till you can't go straight no more, and Take a left at RENFREW.
Dundas area is a Residential Area, FYI lots of Houses. No Street parking!
*Wow look the RINK! Find somewhere to Park and go get a Beer, you earned it. The 1st Lot you think you can park at you can't. Season Ticket holders only. Goto the second one. If that lot is full follow my directions from above to get to the next lot.
Depending on the time of day you are heading to the rink, The trip can take about 40 mins give or take.
Also, as a point of reference, Avenues run East West, Streets Run North South, and Drives are just there to play havoc with tourists.
On another note, Vancouver drivers can be a little..umm...aggressive. Especially during Rush hour. Which starts around 4pm and keeps going till 6:30ish.
Hope that helps.
