You might want to try the Central Valley Greenway, that's were millions of dollars are being wasted. It is now complete (almost) from Clark to Sperling. Then you can go south on Old Sperling to Burnaby Lake, around the north side of the Lake (on the pedestrian bark mulch path) to the Brunette River, then east along that river to Braid Station (the best part).
The Central Valley Greenway is also supposed to go from the Science Center to the NW Quay. Check out the boondoggle bridge at Sperling.

I'm not sure, I'm from out of town so I really couldn't tell you what's new or old! The only construction that I saw going on was along the path by the condos earlier in the video, and there was some more down in New Westminster (path resurfacing I believe).

cool one more question is Southridge Drive a new road there I do not recall seeing the bridge and stuff before and also recall seeing something being construted in the area there
I've been looking for that part of the trail since Grace MCCarthy opened it, in 1986!!! I'll have to find Southpoint Road.

It's Southridge Road, if memory serves...you mean the road with the bike bridge near the Skytrain yards, right?

It was supposed to start at Science Center and go to the NW Quay. It has some really good, but very short, parts. It has lots of stairs (?), and large parts where you're on the road, looking for the next part of the path (not enough signs). Pedaling east, I lose the path at Kingsway, but I'll try again.

That's actually where I started, I was at about Royal Oak Avenue and Kingsway near the Safeway, and I headed towards RO Skytrain station, then proceeded towards NW. I should try going the opposite way the next time I'm out there to see how it works. Ideally I would love to get all the way from Burnaby to Coal Harbour and Stanley Park by bike, is that possible without getting hopelessly lost? Judging from your comment about limited markings and signage I could be in for a bear of a ride!!!
