Hammond is Maple Ridge's original mill town. Historically known as Port Hammond, it sits on the Fraser River at the southwest corner of the city, hard against the Pitt Meadows border. The old townsite grid lies between the CPR mainline and the river. Lougheed Highway runs along the north side, and the neighbourhood sits just east of the Golden Ears Bridge landing. Maple Meadows West Coast Express station anchors the north side near the business park. Moves here range from mill-era heritage houses on small grid lots to newer townhouse developments. The CPR track bisects the neighbourhood, which shapes routing and timing. We know the streets, the crossings, and the permit rules. One flat rate, confirmed up front.
Historic grid and heritage homes
The heritage core clusters around Maple Crescent and 207 Street. This is the historic merchant quarter, where the maple grove that named the city once stood. The streets follow a tight grid with small lots typical of early mill worker housing. Houses here often sit close to the street, and driveways can be narrow. Moving trucks usually stage at the curb, and the work focuses on honest inventory and interior turns. The grid layout is straightforward, but the narrow lots mean we plan the exterior path carefully. Maple Crescent and the surrounding blocks hold the original character homes that define Port Hammond's history. We scope the exact address and confirm the staging spot based on the lot width and street conditions.
CPR crossings and routing
The CPR mainline cuts straight through Hammond, dividing the neighbourhood into north and south sections. This physical barrier affects how we move you. Streets on the south side rely on level rail crossings to reach the main arterials. Trains can hold the crossings for extended periods, and the crossing signals add delay to any drive that requires crossing the tracks. We time the move around the crossing activity and avoid the main road if a train is blocking access. If your move involves crossing the CPR line, we check the timing and route accordingly. The flat rate covers the drive and the loading; we factor in the reality of the crossings when we plan the window.
Lougheed Highway and Golden Ears Way
Lougheed Highway runs along the north edge of Hammond. This is the primary east-west artery and carries heavy traffic toward Pitt Meadows and the Golden Ears Bridge. Golden Ears Way runs along the west edge and feeds bridge traffic across the Fraser to Langley and Surrey. Maple Meadows Way and 203 Street serve as the local connectors. Maple Meadows station sits at 20010 Dunn Avenue off Lougheed, beside Maple Meadows Business Park; the West Coast Express is a weekday-only commuter rail service, so park-and-ride traffic on Dunn Avenue peaks on weekday mornings and late afternoons and is quiet on weekends. These corridors can be congested, especially during peak hours. We time the truck arrival to avoid the worst of the bridge traffic and the station rush. The flat rate includes the drive, so we put slow driving windows to work as loading time instead of charging you extra for travel. Call or text Nash Moving for your flat-rate quote.
New developments and the Hammond Area Plan
Infill is changing parts of Hammond. Redevelopment here is governed by the Hammond Area Plan, and a November 2025 OCP update enables multi-unit residential on single lots, so you may see new construction replacing older structures. A verified example is the 28-unit townhouse development on Patterson Avenue near Lougheed and 203 Street, which won council permit approval on March 24, 2026; the City has not published a completion date. Newer projects bring different logistics. Townhouses often have shared driveways or tight access points. We handle moves to both the heritage homes and the new builds. The access challenges of a new townhouse site are scoped just as carefully as a heritage house. We check the entrance width and the parking rules for each development.
Maple Ridge permits and street access
Maple Ridge requires a Highway Use Permit for anything that impacts city roads, boulevards, sidewalks, or the right-of-way. The moving-relevant type is the Transportation Highway Use Permit, which covers temporary storage bins or containers on the street and vehicles obstructing public space or traffic. Applications are submitted online only through the Citizen Portal at citizenportal.mapleridge.ca; the City does not accept paper or email applications. You must provide liability insurance that names the City as an additional insured, with a clause allowing 30 days notice of cancellation. A traffic management plan may be needed if the work affects traffic flow, and a contractor business licence is required. Fees are set by the Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 7575-2019 and are paid through the portal before the permit issues; the City does not publish a flat fee, and review times vary with the complexity of the application, so start early. Engineering handles the review and can be reached at 604-467-7339 or Engineering@MapleRidge.ca. We can guide you through the permit process and confirm the insurance requirements when you book. Nash Moving handles the logistics, and we make sure the paperwork is clear so the move stays on schedule.
Hammond landmarks and community
Hammond is anchored by the Hammond Community Centre and Hammond Community Park. The centre sits at 20601 Westfield Avenue, and the park covers about 5.36 hectares with the stadium, ballfield, and outdoor pool. The pool ran weekends only from June 6 to 27 this season, then switched to daily hours from June 28 through September 11, with aqua fitness from July. Hammond Stadium and Larry Walker Field host Ridge Meadows Minor Baseball in the spring and summer. The city plans to relocate both diamonds to a new ballpark at the Maple Ridge Golf Course site, though no date is set. Hammond Elementary is located at 11520 203 Street. These are the places that pull family traffic onto the streets on game days and pool days. We check the calendar for your move date and plan around the park activity. The flat rate covers the move regardless of the neighbourhood events.

Hammond questions
Asked before booking in Hammond.
Does the CPR mainline delay my move?
Yes. The tracks bisect Hammond, dividing the neighbourhood into north and south sections. Streets on the south side rely on level rail crossings to reach the main roads. Trains can hold the crossings for extended periods, which adds delay to any drive that requires crossing the tracks. We time the move around the crossing activity and route accordingly. The flat rate covers the drive and the loading; we factor in the reality of the crossings when we plan the window.
What permits do I need for a move in Maple Ridge?
Maple Ridge requires a Highway Use Permit for anything that impacts city roads, boulevards, sidewalks, or the right-of-way. The moving-relevant type is the Transportation Highway Use Permit, which covers temporary storage bins or containers on the street and vehicles obstructing public space or traffic. Applications are submitted online only through the Citizen Portal at citizenportal.mapleridge.ca, with no paper or email option.

Engineering handles the review at 604-467-7339 or Engineering@MapleRidge.ca. We confirm the insurance requirements and staging rules when you book.
Are there new townhouse developments I should know about?
Infill is changing parts of Hammond. Redevelopment here is governed by the Hammond Area Plan, and a November 2025 OCP update enables multi-unit residential on single lots. A verified example is the 28-unit townhouse development on Patterson Avenue near Lougheed and 203 Street, which won council permit approval on March 24, 2026; no completion date has been published. New projects often have shared driveways or tight access points. We handle moves to both the heritage homes and the new builds. We scope the access challenges of a townhouse site just as carefully as a heritage house. The rate depends on the entrance width and the parking rules, not the age of the building.
How does Lougheed traffic affect my move?
Lougheed Highway runs along the north edge of Hammond and serves as the primary east-west artery. It carries heavy traffic toward Pitt Meadows and the Golden Ears Bridge. Golden Ears Way runs along the west edge and feeds bridge traffic across the Fraser to Langley and Surrey. Maple Meadows Way and 203 Street are the local connectors. Maple Meadows station is a West Coast Express stop, a weekday-only commuter rail service, so park-and-ride traffic peaks on weekday mornings and late afternoons. These corridors can be congested. We time the truck arrival to avoid the worst of the bridge traffic and the station rush. The flat rate includes the drive, so we put slow driving windows to work as loading time. Call or text Nash Moving for your flat-rate quote.
How do moves on Maple Crescent work?
Maple Crescent holds the historic mill-era housing stock. These houses sit on the small grid lots of the original Port Hammond townsite between the CPR line and the river. The grid layout is straightforward, but the tight lots mean staging options can be limited. Moving trucks usually stage at the curb, and the work focuses on honest inventory and interior turns. We plan the staging spot based on the lot width and current street conditions. The flat rate covers the move from the curb to your door, regardless of the heritage character of the home.
