How Nash moves you
Crates first. Furniture second.
Every Cottonwood move packs the same way: our uniform tubs fill the truck floor to ceiling, wall to wall, then the furniture goes in. No loose boxes stacked on your couch.
Cottonwood is a family-focused neighbourhood in Maple Ridge, bounded by Dewdney Trunk Road to the north, 232 Street to the west, 240 Street to the east, and Lougheed Highway 7 and Kanaka Way to the south. Cottonwood Drive is the interior collector, and the area is dominated by detached homes with townhouse pockets and the Kanaka Village development at 232 Street and Kanaka Way. Five schools sit in and around the area, with three of them on the 232 Street corridor between 116 and 118 Avenue, which shapes the traffic patterns. We know the school zone timings, the 232 Street corridor, and the Maple Ridge Highway Use Permit rules. One flat rate, confirmed up front.
232 Street and school zone timings
232 Street is the main artery running through Cottonwood. It connects Dewdney Trunk Road to Lougheed Highway 7 and serves as the access corridor for three schools in a concentrated stretch. The concentration of schools means the corridor is busy with parents and buses at bell times, so we keep our truck off 232 Street between 8 and 9 am for drop-off and between 2:30 and 3:30 pm for pick-up. Thomas Haney Secondary, ci:tməxw Environmental Community School, Golden Ears Elementary, Alexander Robinson Elementary, and Kanaka Creek Elementary are all nearby. Alexander Robinson Elementary is at 11849 238B Street, and Kanaka Creek Elementary is at 11120 234A Street. We time the truck arrival to stay clear of those windows. Drive time is an input to your flat rate, but we factor in the schedule so you do not wait. The price we confirm before you book is the price you pay. Call or text Nash Moving for your flat-rate quote.
Housing stock and staging
Cottonwood has over 1,500 buildings, with the vast majority being detached houses. Townhomes appear as pockets, and Kanaka Village at 232 Street and Kanaka Way adds a different layout. The lot sizes and street widths vary, which affects where the moving truck can park. Homes often have driveways, and some properties have stairs or split-level designs. We scope the exact address to determine the best staging spot. If the truck needs to park on the street, we confirm the rules with you. The flat rate covers the work from the truck to your door, based on the actual conditions at your home. Nearby anchors like Fire Hall 4 at 11240 238 Street and the Lawn Bowling Club at 11445 232 Street help you place yourself in the neighbourhood. Moves near parks such as Firefighters Park, Cottonwood North, and Tsuyuki Park at 11170 241A Street can involve higher foot traffic during community events. Most Maple Ridge events run downtown at Memorial Peace Park, but one lands inside Cottonwood: Hot Summer Nights, a free open house at Fire Hall 4, 11240 238 Street, on Wednesday August 12 2026 from 6 to 8 pm. We coordinate around local activity to keep the move efficient. Call or text Nash Moving to confirm your route.
Cottonwood Drive and local access
Cottonwood Drive runs through the centre of the neighbourhood, providing access to the interior streets. The route is straightforward, but parking can be tight on residential blocks. We navigate the interior collector efficiently to get the crew to the loading zone. Further north, Dewdney Trunk Road carries regional traffic, and Save-On-Foods at the corner of Dewdney Trunk and 240 Street marks a key intersection. For moves on the east side near 240 Street, we use the local connectors off Dewdney Trunk Road to reach the interior streets. We plan the approach to minimize impact on neighbours and keep the day on schedule. Call or text Nash Moving to scope your job.
Abernethy Way and roadworks
Abernethy Way is the east-west relief route for this part of Maple Ridge, but it currently dead-ends at 232 Street, the western boundary of Cottonwood. This limits the ability to cut through for trucks. The City of Maple Ridge has funded the extension of Abernethy Way from 232 Street to 240 Street in the 2026 to 2030 Capital Plan. Construction work is expected as the extension proceeds. We check the active work near your address and adjust our staging plan around closures and changed traffic patterns. The flat rate is based on your specific access, regardless of the construction around it. Call or text Nash Moving for details.
Maple Ridge Highway Use Permits
The City of Maple Ridge requires a Highway Use Permit for any activity that occupies or obstructs a City road, boulevard, sidewalk, or right-of-way. The Engineering Department issues these permits, and applications are submitted online only via the Citizen Portal at citizenportal.mapleridge.ca. There is no paper or email option. The permit covers temporary storage such as bins or containers, as well as oversize and overload vehicle movements. The checklist requires a traffic management plan, a certificate of liability insurance naming the City as additional insured with a five million dollar limit and a cross-liability clause, a refundable security deposit, and the fee set out in the Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 7575-2019, Schedule A. The City does not publish that fee amount online. Allow five to ten business days for processing. Engineering can be reached at 604-467-7339 or Engineering@MapleRidge.ca. We can walk you through the requirements when you book. Call or text Nash Moving for help.

Cottonwood questions
Asked before booking in Cottonwood.
How do the schools on 232 Street affect my move?
232 Street is the main spine of Cottonwood and carries traffic for five schools in and around the neighbourhood. Three of them cluster on the 232 Street corridor between 116 Avenue and 118 Avenue. Golden Ears Elementary is at 23124 118 Avenue, ci:tməxw Environmental Community School is at 23125 116 Avenue, and Thomas Haney Secondary is at 23000 116 Avenue. That stretch fills with parents and buses at bell times, so we keep our truck off 232 Street between 8 and 9 am for drop-off and between 2:30 and 3:30 pm for pick-up. We schedule your move outside these windows to keep the route clear and avoid delays. The flat rate covers the drive and the loading, so we plan the timing to match your needs. Call or text Nash Moving to book your slot.
Do I need a permit for a truck or container on the street?
Maple Ridge requires a Highway Use Permit for any activity that occupies or obstructs a City road, boulevard, sidewalk, or right-of-way. The Engineering Department issues these permits, and applications are submitted online only via the Citizen Portal at citizenportal.mapleridge.ca. There is no paper or email option. The permit covers temporary storage such as bins or containers, as well as oversize and overload vehicle movements. The checklist requires a traffic management plan, a certificate of liability insurance naming the City as additional insured with a five million dollar limit and a cross-liability clause, a refundable security deposit, and the fee set out in the Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 7575-2019, Schedule A. The City does not publish that fee amount online. Allow five to ten business days for processing. Engineering can be reached at 604-467-7339 or Engineering@MapleRidge.ca. We can walk you through the requirements when you book. Call or text Nash Moving for help.
Does the Abernethy Way extension affect my move?
Abernethy Way is the area's east-west relief route, and it currently dead-ends at 232 Street. This limits cut-through access for trucks trying to reach the east side of the area. The 2026 to 2030 Capital Plan funds the extension of Abernethy Way from 232 Street to 240 Street, so roadworks are expected as construction progresses. We monitor active work zones and adjust our staging plan around closures and changed traffic patterns. The flat rate is based on your specific access, regardless of the construction around it. Call or text Nash Moving to scope your job.
How does the south edge impact access?
Lougheed Highway 7 and Kanaka Way form the southern boundary of Cottonwood. Kanaka Village sits at the intersection of 232 Street and Kanaka Way, where the lot widths and street layout can differ from the detached homes further north. Lougheed Highway 7 bends southeast at 232 Street toward Albion, so the south edge carries through traffic as well as local trips, and Kanaka Creek runs along that edge. We assess the entrance width and parking rules for every property, whether it is a family home or a townhouse pocket. The flat rate covers the move based on the actual access conditions at your door. Call or text Nash Moving for your flat-rate quote.
