1. Existing Pattullo Bridge Corridor 2. Sapperton Bar Corridor • New crossing located east of the existing Pattullo Bridge that would provide a more direct connection between Surrey and Coquitlam 3. Tree Island Corridor • New crossing located west of the existing Pattullo Bridge that would essentially function as an alternative to the

Based on the initial screening work that has been undertaken, six alternatives have been identified for further consideration:

1. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - Rehabilitated Bridge (3 lanes) 2. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - Rehabilitated Bridge (4 lanes) 3. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - New Bridge (4 lanes) 4. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - New Bridge (5 lanes) 5. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - New Bridge (6 lanes) 6. Sapperton Bar Corridor - New Bridge (4 lanes) coupled with Rehabilitated Pattullo Bridge (2-3 lanes)

Options involving a new bridge are based on the implementation of user based charges (tolls) to help pay for the bridge upgrades.

Additional consultations are scheduled for the Fall of 2013 and Winter of 2014. The Corporation of Delta Eng ine ering Subject: Council Workshop: Pattullo Bridge Replacement Page 2 of 2 File No : 1220-20/PATT
