Generally speaking, it is expected that property will be required for: • SkyTrain stations • The SkyTrain guideway, which will run along the north, center, or south side of Fraser Highway • Widening strips on the approaches to major intersections and • Easements that provide temporary access to sites during construction It is expected that the project will need a small number of full properties. All afected property owners will be contacted in due course. The goal is to reach a fair and equitable agreement for both parties. To see the detailed alignment, please visit the Media Resources page at surreylangleyskytrain.ca Road Widening The Surrey Langley SkyTrain has been designed to ft within the existing road right of way along Fraser Highway. On September 14, 2020, the City of Surrey approved the widening of Fraser Highway between 140 St and 148 St from two lanes to four lanes of vehicle trafc to accommodate current and future planned growth. TransLink is committed to minimizing impacts on the natural and human environments and will look to combine City direction with the project’s construction eforts. Road Widening - Background Fraser Highway is part of TransLink’s Major Road Network 104 Ave (4 Lanes) 29,600 (MRN), which prioritizes the movement of people and goods. The segment of Fraser Highway between 140 Street and 148 Street Fraser Highway (2 Lanes) 28,000 that runs through Green Timbers is one of the busiest two-lane roads in Surrey, with approximately 28,000 vehicles each weekday.¹ It is busier than both 32 and 64 Avenues. 152 Street (4 Lanes) 36,000 That is why the City of Surrey recently adopted a plan to widen 40,000 Lanes) (4 George King this section of the road. 88 Ave (4 Lanes) 35,000 ¹ 2019 volumes Road Widening - Understanding the Impacts Additional analysis by the City will complement TransLink’s Environmental Screening Review of the Surrey Langley SkyTrain project, which is already underway. TransLink will work closely with the City of Surrey to develop: • A coordinated trafc management plan • An assessment and mitigation plan for fsheries and aquatics • An assessment and mitigation plan for vegetation and wildlife, including an updated tree survey • A supplemental Archaeological Impact Assessment on ground disturbance, as needed. For more information, please visit www.surrey.ca/skytrain Station Design Update The following factors were considered in the decision- making process on where to build stations: • Maximize potential ridership • Maximize community and transportation connectivity • Support land use planning • Address technical requirements • Minimize cost • Minimize property impacts Station Design Update (Continued) Your feedback has helped to shape station design by: • Minimizing impacts on Green Timbers, such as: ◦ Station footprint ◦ Protecting fsh habitat ◦ Utilizing bird-friendly glazing and light fxtures • Convenient connections to and from the SkyTrain by walking, cycling, and transit • Designated spaces for passenger pick- up and drop-of • 300 park-and-ride spaces for Stage 1 • Accessibility features at all our stations including hand rails, elevators, and up and down escalators • Washrooms at key stations, as possible • Safety and security features, including: ◦ Abundant lighting, highly visible designated waiting areas, and CCTV cameras ◦ A new Transit Police ofce at 166 St Station Conceptual Design of 140 St Station passenger pick-up / drop off passenger pick-up / drop off Jim Pattison Outpatient PR Care and Surgery Centre BCRTC and/or Transit Police convenience reserved parking

  • Skytrain Upgrade Project
    BACKGROUNDER SKYTRAIN UPGRADE PROJECT Upgrades to the existing SkyTrain network are necessary to meet current and future demand, and are a pre-condition for new rapid transit projects WHAT IS THE SKYTRAIN UPGRADE PROJECT? The 2014 Vision for Metro Vancouver Transit and Transportation included analysis and recommendations on the type of investments needed to keep the existing SkyTrain system modern and up to the task of meeting growing demand over the next 30 years. The upgrade project includes: 100 new Mark III SkyTrain cars (28 already funded in Phase One Plan; 72 cars remaining); New storage and maintenance facilities for the new cars Control and power system upgrades to ensure new cars can be operated Station upgrades to improve passenger amenities and access WHY IS THIS UPGRADE PROJECT NEEDED NOW? Current and future ridership will strain the existing system The Expo Line officially launched in 1986 and the Millennium Line opened in 2002. Since then the population and level of employment in the region has grown, and the current capacity of the system is insufficient to meet the demands during period periods. This is resulting in passengers being passed up and crowding on platforms at the busiest stations during peak periods. The recent opening of the Evergreen Extension has resulted in higher ridership and crowding on the system more quickly than anticipated. This is expected to worsen with more people coming to the region, more development near stations, and planned bus expansion in the 10-Year Vision connecting to the SkyTrain system. Previous improvements and investments in the Phase One Plan only meets today’s needs TransLink procured 28 Mark III SkyTrain cars to meet the ridership demand from the Evergreen Extension, and the Phase One Plan of the 10-Year Vision includes 28 additional Mark III cars.

    ATTACHMENT A Page 1 of 5 November 9, 2010 Mayor Peter Fassbender Chair, Mayors' Council on Regional Transportation c/o City of Langley 20399 Douglas Crescent Langley, BC V3A 4B3 Dear Chair Fassbender, Re: 2011 Supplemental Plans On behalf of the Board of Directors of the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority (TransLink), I am forwarding the two enclosed Transportation and Financial Supplemental Plans for 2011 to 2013, and Outlooks for 2014 to 2020, both approved by the Board, to the Mayors' Council on Regional Transportation. The purpose of presenting these supplemental plans is to provide the region's mayors with an opportunity to exercise their authority under the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority Act to approve one of the options to expand Metro Vancouver's transportation network and confirm it as TransLink's 'base plan' for the next three years. Alternately, the Mayors Council may choose to not approve either of them and maintain the program in the current base plan. Both options include funding for the Evergreen SkyTrain Line connecting the Lougheed and Coquitlam town centres and for an extension of United Boulevard in Coquitlam as the first phase of the North Fraser Perimeter Road goods movement corridor from the Queensborough Bridge in New Westminster to Highway #1. One option, 'Delivering the Evergreen Line and the North Fraser Perimeter Road,' is confined to the two highest priority projects. The other, 'Moving Forward,' proposes additional road and transit improvements across Metro Vancouver, notably in the South of Fraser and North Shore sub-regions. All of these projects have been long-standing priorities and offer enormous benefits to the people of Metro Vancouver.

  • Corporate Report
    CORPORATE REPORT NO: R120 COUNCIL DATE: June 24, 2019 REGULAR COUNCIL TO: Mayor & Council DATE: June 20, 2019 FROM: Acting General Manager, Engineering FILE: 8740-01 SUBJECT: Future of Rapid Transit in Surrey RECOMMENDATION The Engineering Department recommends that Council: 1. Receive this report for information; 2. Endorse the principles attached as Appendix “I” to this report; and 3. Authorize staff to develop a Long-Range Rapid Transit Vision for input into TransLink’s Transport 2050 plan. INTENT The intent of this report is to inform Council on TransLink’s update of the Regional Transportation Strategy (now called Transport 2050), outline recommended principles for future rapid transit expansion in Surrey, and request support from Council for the development of a long-range rapid transit vision for Surrey’s submission to TransLink for inclusion in the Transport 2050 plan development process. BACKGROUND The Success of Previous Regional Transportation Plans Transportation and land use are integrally linked, as demonstrated by Metro Vancouver’s long history of coordinating land use and transportation investments. Many of the first coordinated efforts to integrate transit and land use were identified as part of Metro Vancouver’s (at that time known as Greater Vancouver Regional District or “GVRD”) first “Livable Region Plan” that, in 1975, established an urban land use pattern aimed at focusing growth and development in compact urban centres supported by an integrated, multi-modal transportation network. In 1993, prior to the creation of TransLink, the GVRD prepared “A Long-Range Transportation Plan for Greater Vancouver”, known as Transport 2021. This plan was instrumental in identifying an end-state vision for transportation that included policies and capital improvements aligned with regional land use goals.
