The first round of public engagement for a transit-oriented development near Uptown Shopping Centre will run from Monday, Aug. 19 until Sept. 18, 2024.

Plans for Surrey Langley SkyTrain have taken another step forward with the selection of a preferred proponent team to design and build eight new stations for the project, including cycling and walking paths around the new stations.

People will have more opportunities to enjoy multi-use pathways, protected bike lanes, pedestrian bridges and safety improvements as local, regional and Indigenous governments expand their active transportation infrastructure.

People will see improvements to regional travel and transit reliability with major upgrades to Highway 1 between 216th and 264th streets.

Consulting engineers have been honoured for their work to improve transportation in British Columbia, from rehabilitating a 100-year-old bridge in Terrace to building back better a critical piece of Vancouver Island highway.

People are invited to an information session to share plans about pedestrian safety improvements coming for Highway 1.

Transit users along Highway 99 will see quicker, more reliable travel with completion of extended bus-on-shoulder lanes south of the George Massey Tunnel, in addition to other transit and cycling upgrades.
