2019 Sunshine Hills Community Shuttle Bus Survey Results
The following report has been reviewed and endorsed by the City Manager.
III RECOMMENDATIONS:
A. THAT a copy of this report be provided to TransLink. B. THAT TransLink be requested to include the Sunshine Hills neighbourhood as a high priority for future transit service level improvements upon availability of funding.
III PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report is to summarize the findings of the 2019 Sunshine Hills Community Shuttle Bus survey and seek Council's endorsement that TransLink be requested to include the Sunshine Hills neighbourhood as a high priority for future transit service level improvements upon availability of funding.
III BACKGROUND:
At the June 10, 2019 Regular Meeting of Council, staff was directed to gauge public interest in extending community shuttle bus service to the Sunshine Hills neighbourhood. The need for transit service in the Sunshine Hills neighbourhood has been recognized for several years. This neighbourhood in North Delta is currently not well served by transit. In 2005, TransLink had a plan to commence a community shuttle bus service through the Sunshine Hills neighbourhood. At that time, however, due to opposition from some residents, the implementation of this service was deferred.
A community survey undertaken in 2011 had shown that a majority of the Sunshine Hills neighbourhood residents that responded supported a community shuttle bus service. During follow-up discussions with TransLink, Delta was informed that future service would be considered subject to funding availability.

III DISCUSSION:
Another community survey (Attachment A) was distributed in the summer of 2019 to area residents of the Sunshine Hills neighbourhood bound by 72 Avenue to the north, Kittson Parkway to the south, 120 Street to the east, and Westview Drive to the west. A high response rate was achieved (23%) given the number of surveys issued (3,294). The findings indicate that 73% of the respondents were in favour of a community shuttle bus service while 27% opposed. The survey results were tabulated and are summarized in Table 1.
T a bl e 1 C ommunlty't S urvey R esu It s 2011 Number 2011 % of Total 2019 Number 2019 % of Total Number of surveys issued 2,990 - 3,294 - Number of responses 896 30% 771 23% In favour 559 62% 549 71% Opposed 304 34% 205 27% Undecided 33 4% 17 2%
A similar survey conducted in 2011 had 62% in favour of this service. When compared with the 2019 survey, residents have shown additional favour for this service (71 %). Respondent comments and responses are provided in Attachment B.
Commonly cited comments by those in favour of the service include: • A number of residents (especially seniors) would welcome the service as walking to the closest transit service is not deemed viable by them. • Providing a shuttle bus that goes to the schools would be ideal and will dramatically reduce traffic congestion in and around schools.
Commonly cited comments by those opposed to the service include: • Home owners fear that the service may increase their property taxes as well as bring illegal activities to their neighbourhood. • Residents are hesitant to favouring this service without knowing the exact routes the shuttle bus will take and believe this service would increase noise pollution and actually increase traffic congestion and pollution.
This community shuttle bus service was identified in TransLink's recent Southwest Area Transport Plan as a Tier II priority. As residents have shown that they are in favour of the shuttle bus service, TransLink should be requested to elevate the priority for providing transit service to the Sunshine Hills neighbourhood.
III CONCLUSION:
The most recent community survey conducted this summer has demonstrated there is a high level of support for improved transit service levels in the Sunshine Hills neighbourhood. TransLink should be requested to include the Sunshine Hills neighbourhood as a high priority for future transit service level improvements upon availability of funding.

This type of bus offers th.e benefits of being sma ll er and quieter than a conventional bus, while being ab le to serve residents on a neighbourhood sca le. TransLink recently completed the Southwest Area Transport Plan in 2018, which establishes how reso urces cou ld be used to improve transit and transportation in Delta. Future service for Sunsh in e Hi ll s was identified as a medium priority item. The City is seek ing feedback from area residents to confirm the level of community support for this service in order to bring this matter back to TransLink to request that this service be advanced as a high priority for the comllJunity. A report will be prepared to Delta Council summarizing the results of this survey and the level of community support for bus service.

Good Idea. 2 Elderly parents visiting would use it 3 There is no information indicating what route this shuttle would be taking. I assume the route would be at least on Lyon Road and there are two schools and lots of congestion 4 I'd like to know more details about the proposed shuttle bus services, routes, schedules, etc. I think it should like the Sunshine Hills area to the Scottsdale bus hub, and prefer it could also link to South Delta, like City Hall, School Board, etc. 5 Would not object to a community shuttle service provided it did not impact home owner property taxes. 6 I would have liked to see the actual route that the community shuttle bus will take, so that I can make a better-informed decision on whether or not this proposed community shuttle will be helpful to alleviate some of the public transportation issues in the area. Currently in my neighbourhood, there is one single bus (the 340) which everyone relies on. It runs from Scottsdale to 22nd station, and is the primary method of transportation for me and many of my neighbours to get to work every day. This bus is no longer meeting the demands of the neighbourhood, especially during rush hours, where people can be packed like sardines, or not even able to make it onto the bus. What's worse, during weekends the bus only runs once every 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the time of day, which makes public transit extremely undesirable, because nobody want to be waiting an hour at the bus stop. I've tried sending feedback to TransLink about this issue, and the only reply I got back was "check our 2020 plans", which I did and there's absolutely nothing that would improve the public transit in the Sunshine Hills area in those plans. While I am for a community shuttle, I would much prefer improvements to public transit as a whole that connects this community to places like the sky train stations, without us having to wait for ages just to get on a bus. We literally have no options for other public transportation if anything happens to the 340. This has occurred multiple times in the past, leaving people stranded and unable to get to work. Please help us fix the lack of public transportation options in this community! 7 No need for more traffic in neighbourhood 8 Yes Please! As a mother of teenagers it is very important to me that a community bus be implemented in our neighbourhood. As it is now my son pays for a taxi to get home because he doesn't want to walk from the bus stop at 120th/Wade Rd or 64/Lyon Rd home late at night. My daughter is still young but knowing a bus service would be in place would be a huge convenience and make travel safer. I've often thought it's crazy that there isn't better service in our area. 9 This shuttle bus is not a priority for my family 10 It would be helpful to connect to the sky train from our neighbourhood 11 It does not benefit our area but if it does for other people, please add the service 12 I am very happy to know that our city is finally looking into offering shuttle buses in our Sunshine Hills area. I am in full support of the request to advance this service as a high priority for our community. Our neighbourhood has no buses or any form of public transportation. It is time to do something that can benefit our local residence. For years, my parents have to rely on me to drive them grocery shopping to the closest stores in our community such as Walmart or Safeway or Save On Foods. It took at least 25 minutes to walk to the grocery stores or mall. For 70 years old seniors, walking 25 minutes with heavy grocery is quite a burden. Everywhere I go such as bringing kids to playgrounds, tennis court, I have to drive because there is no buses around. I will use public transit if they are around some as our kids. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help expedite this project. Attachment B Page 2 of 28 13 The shuttle bus must link to skytrian stations, malls. The shuttle bus must pass through Lyon Rd where a lot of students, seniors are present and their caregivers. Consider extended operating hours. The argument that running a bus along Lyon Rd will disturb the quietness of the community is invalid and selfish. The noise of bus is no different from ordinary cars and less noisy than a garbage collection truck. 14 More buses would be helpful now we only have 312 which is not enough. 15 ASAP 16 In favour as long as it is not on McKenzie Drive. I think a shuttle bus along Lyon Rd would be useful. A lot more people drive to McKenzie and park to get transit on Kittson than a few years ago. There is also a lot more litter and cigarette butts along McKenzie in the past few years. Perhaps if the garbage cans at the bus stops got emptied more frequently there would be less litter. 17 Lets do it! Why is this survey on paper what a waste! Who no online option. 18 We would love a community shuttle bus. It would be great if it would service highschool students needing service to Burnsview. 19 With more efficient, available transit, we would/could use our cars less. The 340 is unreliable and slow. Fewer cars in our neighbourhood would be an improvement. So many rental suites have brought more cars. 20 Road are full of parked cars, no room to drive on them. I have lived here for over 50 years and do not need buses in area. When I need the buses, I walk to 64th, they are about every 1/2 hour. Very convenient. I am 82 years old! 21 None it would be great to have this service 22 Would love to see bus lane over the Alex Fraser to 22nd St station with the enhancements being worked on now. Right now it's challenging to get onto the sky train network from Sunshine Hills. 23 Particularly would be helpful to my mom who lives with us and finds transit not very convenient living here but she doesn't drive 24 No 25 During a heavy snowfall commonwealth cres is the last to be cleared of snow. If at all with no bus service we are trapped. Even living at the corner of commonwealth and Lyon Rd it takes a lot of shoveling to get to Lyon Rd. 26 My younger daughter (age 16) uses this community shuttle on a regular basis travelling back & forth to the Delta Gym in Ladner 27 We don't like bus operates in the neighbourhood 28 Why fix something that is not broke? We do not need transit bus service in the hills, we have never had it, we are a unique area in ND. Cut off mostly from the rest of ND and we like it this way. People go for walks daily here knowing there are no gas fumes fro trucks as well as buses, keep them out of here, most if not all have at least 2 cars if need be so there is no need for transit to come here. Do the right thing for once Delta, keep transit out of sunshine hills. 29 Thank you for reviewing this. It will be very helpful to some of our elderly neighbours if implemented 30 Still able to drive ourselves but believe this is a community resource useful to many others 31 Depends on health, to local amenities only. Too far to walk to Scott Rd/64th. When I was working in Walnut Grove would have taken 1 hour + to get to work. Many people use their own cars/trucks for work purposes. Attachment B Page 3 of 28 32 We have had periods in our lives where we have used public transit heavily. Having lived in Europe for a few years and experiencing good public transit. I would say it is absolutely necessary in a progressive and enlightened society to promote as much public transit as possible. If you build it, they will use it. 33 I like the community shuttle but the last bus ends too early 34 This would be a great service for students, seniors and commuters 35 This is a quiet neighbourhood, shuttle bus will bring more traffic and more people 36 As a senior citizen me and my wife would love to have shuttle services between bus stops which is too far to walk specially in the winter 37 Cant answer how many members would use it because doesn't tell us where shuttle is going. Cant say if I am in favour because I don't have enough details. The old #16(3167) bus that used to go down 64 was wonderful. I used to walk from my house to catch it. No cars needed. It went with our stopping once it hit the freeway all the way to Vancouver. It was always completely full in addition it was a comfortable one. Then sky train came along we were forced to take it. Had to transfer from this to train at 22 5t cramped seating maybe had to stand. Transfer rush awkward if carrying items. When TransLink held public meeting it didn't care one bit about retaining good service. 50 unfortunately I have little faith in TransLink. See comments on question side. You ask questions we can't answer because we've been given no information. 38 Community shuttle with good hours to Scott Rd sky train station 39 I think it would be a great idea! 40 If #'s. Noise for nothing 41 I lived in this area for more than 30 years already. I don't think we need to have community shuttle bus at all. Besides if whoever wants to take the bus, just walk to the bus depot, only takes 15 minutes walk definitely we don't need it in this area! 42 I know most people in my neighbourhood would not use transit also I feel we are well within distance to bus service at 64 Ave 43 Strongly oppose buses in the neighbourhood!! 44 A community shuttle would seem fair, since we are not serviced very well by sky train, but we pay for it 45 I am thrilled that this may come into fruition! It is much needed, and I know would be appreciated by . myself and their residents within the neighbourhood 46 We have lived in ND since 1967 and it is something we've always thought was sadly lacking in our neighbourhood 47 Please increase the number of buses going through 64 Ave to sky train stations and also increase the frequency of buses operating in Delta through 64 Ave to sky train station like 340 48 Link to sky train station YVR is preferred. Both Canada Line and Expo line 49 We were in favour of this last survey-no results. This is long overdue for this community and we would prefer not using the car when possible-in order to work something needs to be done about all the cars & trucks parked both sides of the road daily 50 Sunshine Hills is a very nice, quiet neighbourhood and I want to keep it that way. There has already been increased traffic in the last few years. 51 Would not be in favour of shuttle bus as it would increase traffic and density (potentially more rental issues & secondary suites in the neighbourhood) 52 We need the shuttle in ND, just like from Sunshine Hill to Sungod other high school or ND recreation Centre so on ..... 53 Noise level will increase with bus and we do not wish for property tax to increase either 54 I am neutral, I don't support because I shall be likely not to use this service. But I don't maybe more people they need it. Attachment B Page 4 of 28 55 We'd prefer not to have buses in Sunshine Hills 56 It is difficult to comment not knowing the routes or frequency of the buses. Adding more volume on Lyon Rd between 6-9am will add to the congestions - will it being challenging/or schedules to be kept 57 It is a long walk for seniors to go to Kittson Parkway or 72 & 112 to get a bus to sky train. A bus along Lyon Rd or Westfield connecting with bus service on Kittson Parkway would be invaluable. Even better if the timing was set up to coincide with the bus on Kittson Parkway. 58 Transit coverage in Sunshine Hills is much needed. Especially connecting to a sky train station like 22 Street station via HWY for a fast commute. 59 We are looking forward to having community shuttle bus services to the Sunshine Hills 60 A shuttle may encourage Sunshine Hills commuters to get out of their cars and take transit to work 61 Yes but I need to know the route and where would the pickup/drop off points be? As we don't want our street to become a parking lot. 62 Fantastic idea! Would promote use of transit for teens and make it so we wouldn't have to rely on our cars as often 63 Stop the morning traffic coming into Sunshine Hills from 64 & 72. It's noisy, causing traffic jam inside our neighbourhood is not a short cut/detour place. Introduce electric shuttle please. I don't like air pollution 64 I work downtown Vancouver and take route 340 at the McKenzie and Kittson Pkwy stops. Route 340 is very full with few standing only spaces available. On occasion the bus is full then drives by. Route 340 is a major route that connects Surrey and NO to the 22 street sky train. A direct route from Scottsdale down 72 would help. A community shuttle would help as the 340 no longer provides comfortable sitting for residence of Sunshine Hills. 2 emails from TransLink attached for reference 65 All of the households that we know in our neighbourhood have at least 2 serviceable vehicles. We are the original owners of our home and have lived here since 1980. A petition was done years ago about bus service t our area and regular discussion about this matter since, the consensus still remains that public transportation is not wanted/required in this area. Young adolescents have been frequenting our parks and playground facilities causing vandalism and thefts. Sunshine Hills tennis court is one example - B&E and theft, along with damage to the playground area. There has been many other reported illegal activities such as drug trafficking and consumption and consuming alcohol while under age. Then those of driving privileges, driving while impaired and also breaking by-laws with loud noise and time curfews. A shuttle service will make for easier access for offending persons. Weekday commuters have been using Lyon Road as a shortcut for the Alex Fraser Bridge and the 91 Hwy. To connect to 99 Hwy. Several mornings Lyon Road appears like a parking lot! Buses would add to the pollution of these commutes. 66 Please make the service available soon 67 Check out lanford Be. Highly used and successgull shuttle service. A shuttle from Sunshine Hills to various points along Scott Rd would alleveate an enormous amount of traffic and parking issues Attachment B Page 5 of 28 68 It is much needed. My son had to leave at 5:10am to walk 20 minutes to catch a bus everyday. His work time start was 8am in Richmond. Please lets make this happen. My three children can't save for housing/school! future plans and carry auto ownership costs. Transit is a must. Lets make it easier to be eco friendly, user friendly and servcie this area. I will kindly offer a bus stop by our home. 69 TransLink levy should be apply on 3-5 miles radius of the line. Delta does not even a train station 70 Not planning to bea residents of NO much longer; our opinion may not be of help 71 I live near 3 schools so I feel transit will help to cut down on traffic in the area. I don't drive and the nearest bus stop is a 20 minute walk from my house. My neighbour is in her 90's and would like accessible transit. My commute from work via public transit is 1.5 hrs when i only live 8 minutes car trip away. This is because there are not a lot routes going through NO. There should definetly be a bus stop at Seaquam. I would be more likely to use transit if there was closer stops. My mom also does not drive so this will help her get out more if we had a shuttle near our home. I notice that a lot people on my street having to walk long distances fro mthe mall/grocery store since there are no routes in Sunshine Hills. A community shuttle bus transit service is very much needed in Sunshine Hills. 72 I am NOT in favour of a shuttle bus ifyou are making Knight Drive the main feeder route. You have not yet delt with this traffic problem and we want other wider more direct routes used for all traffic into and out of sunshine hills.You need to activate a fully functional traffic light at kittson parkway and mckenzie drive so that thelaower section residnets and school traffic can enter and exit that area safely instead of driving through entire neighbourhood to the light at summit crescent and kittson parkway 73 Better to increase frequency of 340 on Kittson Parkway 74 We don't use public transit. The bus service on Kittson Parkway serves the area adequately! We do not want bus traffic with more polluton and noise in our area!!! 75 Not needed in Sunshine Hills 76 Lyon Rd is all ready too congested with school traffic and rat racers-buses would only add to this chaos 77 There are quite a few seniors and teens in the area that could make use of this service 78 Many elderly people in the neighbourhood. If they cant drive anymore then TransLink could be helpful 79 About time!! A little too late as my kids are gone but totally approve for others. It will lesson the congeston at schools! 80 Which streets and hours of operation? 81 I'm not interested in having a bus come into the neighbourhood. My boys take the bus home from school and are dropped off on Kittson Parkway. That works well. A little walk is good. I already see people coming to the park across from my house to exchange items in the woods (drugs)? I don't want more people to have easy access to the neighbourhood. Bus stops/routes are good right now. 82 Even though I do not use the service at this time. I would promote it for other people in my area (NO) who do use it Attachment B Page 6 of 28 83 The area does not need a large bus. Should be organized to go up to malls upon Scott Rd, and to connect to bus on Kittson Way that goes to 22nd sky train, Ladner, etc, including Ferry to Vancouver island etc. The bus service was very good years ago when it came down Kittson Way or old 64th along 104 for people at the farms and Ladner exchange, through the tunnel into Vancouver(individuals hooked up to buses out to UBC etc) When sky train came in it all changed! PS The same fast bus went downtown Vancouver stopping at different stops. PS Build the bridge and work around it! 84 How much will the service cost? 85 Currently, and as in the past, the neighbourhood of Sunshine Hills is not in favour ofa shuttle bus. This is a safe, peaceful neighbourhood and transit brings crime and issues. We are already walking distance to Scott Rd buses. We wish TransLink would drop this ongoing harrassment of our community. It has only been a few years since we signed a petition against TransLink and attended the City Hall meeting against this, as well. 86 Lyon rd is too busy already - now Council ok'd large apartment condo complex with access to Lyon as well need better/more speed bumps already 87 This service would be so awesome. Please TransLink don't forget us. Thanks to the City of Delta for giving us and pursuing this opportunity 88 Our son will be using transit to get to University. Any additional service would be welcome. Hope it will relieve congestion on Lyon Road in front of Seaquam as many students are out of catchement and out of district. The route propesed several years ago went along Carncross. If this route is again proposed, something will need to be done about parents parking on both sides of Carncross around 9am and again at 3pm. It is so tight that it is difficult at times to get 2 cars down the street, never mind a shuttle bus! Recomment Delta looking at gravelling and putting up signage on the park side of Carncross all the way along, not just in front of the tennis courts so park users and parents have a clearer understanding where they can and should park. I am getting quite tired of having people block access to my driveway, parking on an angle or straight in there by causing traffic issues anad potentially an accident involving students going to/leaving school 89 There's always the seniors bus service 90 The best public secondary school (Seaquam) of BC is in the community. More and more foreign student will be here. They need a community shuttle bus. 91 Probably 2-3 times per month each dependent on what the route is 92 As we reach 80 years old some love their drivers license, thus the need for public transit is the only way to get around. 93 we would it eventually 94 it's about time!! 95 only if there are buses runnning along 72 ave between 112 St & Westview Drive & Highway 91 96 for the elderly and those with disabilities the shuttle bus service would be an asset. 97 PLEASE FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION ON THE PROBLEM OF COMMUTER TRAFFIC USING OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD AS A ROUTE TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE ALEX FRASER BRIDGE. WE DO NOT WANT OVER OR NEED, ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC IN THE FORM OF A "COMMUNITY" BUS. THIS HAS NOT CHANGED SINCE OUR PRESENTATION TO COUNCIL MANY YEARS AGO. PLEASE STOP COMING BACK AND ASKING THE SAME QUESTIONS AND HOPING FOR A DIFFERENT ANSWER! FOCUS ON REDIRECTING THE COMMUNTER TRAFFIC THROUGH OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD!!! 98 I am in favour of shuttles in none busy hours to operate all over North Delta. Only use 112 St & 116 St in morning and evening rush. Attachment B Page 7 of 28 99 Great Service! Aging population! Lived here since 1980! 100 I do not think thistype of service is necessary in this neighbourhood. Thanks. 101 I would like to know more, routes? When our kids are older, they may use this (in 7+ years!). 102 We live close to Scott rd. Residents in middle of sunshine hills are poorly serviced by transit. 103 Only worried about bus stops as in we don't want a bus stop in front of our because of garbage, cigarette butts and loiterin rsons damaging the lawn and gardens. Please advise what you have in mind email Thanks for reading :) 104 Strongly agree! 105 Would really appreciate a bus that stopped closer to my address that connect with a bus to the Ladner loop & then to Farry Terminal... or one that went straight to ferry terminal! And of course, a bus that dropped off closer to home. Also a bus that made reasonable connection to Jimmy Pattison Outpatient Centre 9750 140 St. 106 so far I'm still allowed to drive. I may need the shuttle bus in future. 107 It would be nice to have an express bus run from Scott Rd Sky train station along 120 to Hwy 10 or further 108 We really need shuttle bus service in our neighbourhood as our bus stops are quite far. 109 We are used to the current situation. No need to change, other,wise taxes go higher. 110 My daughter is 20 years old and does not have her drivers license. She commutes to work and school daily. Has to walk 30 minutes up to scott road to catch bus. If a shuttle was offered that ran down Lyon Road this would greatly cut her time down to get to a bus stop. As a mother I also worry about her safety at night as she is forced to get off at a bus stop a 30 minute walk from home. I work in Burnaby and if shuttle service was available down Lyon Road I would consider taking transit on a dailty basis to commute to work. Walking 30 minutes to get to the nearest bus stop is a major factor of why I currently drive my car to work. Also believe if a shuttle ran by the high school, a decrease in number of parents driving their kids to school would also occur. Less traffic. Fully support shuttle bus service in Sunshine hills. 111 Definitely needed & past due! Would be interest to see a proposed route. It would be beneficial to connect sunshine hills/woods/village to the transit centre & to some local shopping areas. 112 I am a seria TRANSIT SERVICE will be appreciated. 113 No 114 A shuttle bus already goes up and down Knight Dr. twice a day. Usually there is nobody on it. More bus service may e needed on Kitson Parkway. Whatever happened to walking a block or two to catch a bus! No buses through neighbourhoods would be a goal to aim for. If disabled people who can't walk a block or two need public transportation then the City could provide a subsidized taxi service which would be less expensive than empty translink busses running through neighbourhoods. Motto for good health Walk more: ride less! 115 It would be nice to have a bus that went to Burnsview and Sungod Rec Centre from our neighbourhood. 116 where would it then go to? 117 It would be good for our community because less cars would be used and faster service would be provided for Sunshine Hills residents. 118 Would provide faster service, which would be beneficial to seniors and students traveling to school. Attachment B Page 8 of 28 119 No to shuttle bus We want it an enclare as it always has been. Residents already have access to buses on 64th & Scott Rd. Kittson Parkway. Strawberry hill bus loop is very close. Could breed crime, if allowed. 120 The shuttle bus is a convenient way of transport for non-drivers and students. 121 This is something that our family has hoped for over the past 20 years. This could help with the congestion on Lyon rd before & after school as well as an assett to seniors. Please vote "yes" 122 Great idea! 123 TRANSLlNK's whole system needs improvement! For now we hardly use it because it is not satisfactory. Sky train portion is fine, but buses don't run often enough, especially during weekends and after rush hours. 124 As a senior, public transit is my main mode of transportation. 125 There needs to be bus that goes on Westview to 22nd station. Re route 340. Last stop prior to bridge always have to stand, bus spends over too much time waiting in traffic between 64th & 72. If re routing down Westview not an option there needs to be bus lane from 64th to 72nd. 126 So much more convient than walking (in the dark especially) to 64th or 72nd. 127 this has been needed for many years 128 Why is is that this idea has been turned down several times and is being brought up again? Read somewhere that some poll or something was taken and 66% wanted it back in 2011. Where is this pool and who was polled? Was the poll done by people living up by 64th and Scott that arent in the area to use this bus? Ones that live in Sunshine Woods that would that would probably never use this bus? Who were these 66%? I'm sure if you look it up, it was nobody or very few on or near Lyon rd. This survey should only be for those who will be affected by the bus traffice, stops, noise, pollution, loitering, litte, etc, the ones that actually live on or a couple of blocks from Lyon Rd and not for all of Sunshine Hills. This service won't affect most of Sunshine Hills, one way or the other, but definitely will affect those living on Lyon Rd, and possibly Westview and Nicholson Rd. There will be people voting on this that will not have anything to do with it, that live nowhere near Lyon Rd. Most people bought in Sunshine Hills because it is a quiet, high end neighbourhoood. A neighbourhood unlike others. One with no buses. People knew about that before they moved here. Crime is low in Sunshine Hills, away from the bus areas. Buses will allow criminals easy access to the "more expensive" part of Delta. This bus service will not get people out of their cars. Those who drive will continue drive. Most people in Sunshine Hills have cars and those that don't have services they can use such as the Delta seniors bus (which is free) HandyDART, friends and family with cars. Lyon Rd is busy enough already, adding bus stop to an already busy road is ridiculous. As it is, there is alternating driving already due to parked cars on both sides of the street. (Kitson Parkway to Huff, especially during rush hours) Street parking is necessary and needed. Translink would probably want to propose the street parking be taken away for their stops. Could possibly bring down our proterty value. We don't trust Translink to make intelligent decisions as to routes, times etc. Would want to see the schedules before even thinking about any service to run through our community. We know from experience once transity is in, they'll run amuck and do as they please if they have permission to route any or all bus routes through here. We dont want routes like the 312/316/319 coming into our quiet neighbourhood. It's inviting all the criminals from the north side into our neighbourhood. We know Lyon Rd would be a route and it's a solide NO for us. We dont want ANY buses on Lyon Rd. 129 Is 72nd Ave and 116th Ave going to be included with shuttle bus??? 130 Community Bus Feedback Survey. 2 People in this household are seniors and use Attachment B Page 9 of 28 131 Shuttle service on Lyon Road to 22nd St station and a shuttle to scott road station would be ideal 132 At this time we drive but in future would use it. Good for people living in Sunshine Hills 133 Yes. I fully support the idea of providing bus services to Sunshine Hill. This will help the people living there. Beside cutting down the need to drive a car & cutting down our carbon foot prints. 134 What is the route? Not the highest priority when we have no proper streetlighting. Curbs and paving, underground wiring etc. 135 I currently do not use public transit because it is a 40 minute walk (normal pace) from my home ot the nearest transit stop. Most people have used their own vehicle as a result, and it might take some patience to convince them to do otherwise 136 Would be interested to see the route the proposeed Shuttle bus would take & the hours of operation. North Delta has sad-limited service it would be good to have bus going to Matthews exchange to connect with 351 to Bridgeport when 311 is not operating. Also it would be good to have extended service to Tswassen & Ladner. 137 In sunshine hill, there are a fair amount of elderly people some of them have already lost the driver's license from ICBC due to age. Shopping is not easy for them A community shuttle bus would help them when they need to go shopping I would use my care less often. 138 It is a great idea to help elderly to use this service if available. 139 Do not wish buses other than handidart coming into the neighbourhood. Transit riders can cross from 64th or scott road. It keeps the area safer. Why fix it, fix it isnt broke. 140 A shuttle is definitely needed in this area as many of the kids in Sunshine Hills go to Burnsview Secondary school and have no way to get there but walk which is far 141 I would hope that 64th Ave and 104 street could be included in the Shuttlebus plans. People are now getting off the buses at Highway 10 and 104 St and having to walk a long way north on 104 street on an extremely narrow verge and on a very busy street. 142 Many Delta residents- seniors, teens and those with mobility and other disabilities would benefit from a Community Shuttle Bus in this neighbourhood. 143 I am in favour but I would need to see a route plan to confirm my vote. I am hoping the route would go along nicholson rd 144 no 145 Please bring more bus 340 to the area. It is very crowed during rush hour. 146 We tried this when our children went to Burnsview and North Delta. 3 kids, 3 schools! Would have saved a lot of time, money, and less polution if there had been a bus. It takes 15-20 min to either bus stop to get to 22nd or Scott Road Stations. Which is another 20-30 minutes. A shuttle could cut that in half! More families can only afford one vehicle. Sunshine Hills has seniors but they are often not wanting to drive into urban areas. Buses help students in high schoo II be more independ and (unlegible) dependent on vehicles they can't afford. Parking is always an issue even more so when there is not adequate transit options. There used to be a bus stop on 72 EAST of Westview which was convient for us but they took it out. Shuttles should run (unlegible) to get students commuters out of cars during the week. 147 Better means to get around and a route to scott road sky train station would be helpful. 148 There are many teens that would use this service to get to their social activities if available. My children would have at that age. Instead, many parents drive them. 149 No. 150 Very few people will benefit from this shuttle bus service. But the bus service will cause new traffic noise problems and make Nicholson Road and Lyon Road even busier. Attachment B Page 10 of 28 151 Once our kids are a bit older, I believe they would use this service. I would use the service a few times a year to get down to Kittison Parkway to catch the bus to New West 152 My family supports public transit, and wants to see a route coming close to our house. 153 It is much better we have shuttle from Sunshine hills to 22nd Sky train station. 154 A community shuttle would actually make public transportation an option. Currently we either need to walk 15 minutes to Kittson Parkway or 25+ minutes to Scott Rd. This is a huge reason we have relying on our vehicles to date. As our children get older, a community shuttle would also give us more flexibility in choosing schools, extra cirricular activities, even getting to and from friends homes. Lastly, my parents recently moved from North Delta to White Rock. They still however visit once a week to help out with the kids and visit family. My mom & dad can walk from their condo and catch a community shuttle with ease. A second short trip gets them to Scott Rd and 64 in no time. From there, they either walk or reliant on a ride from myself. They are able to do this now, but down the road, mobility will become an issue. It would be a shame for them to lose out on the opportunity to visit their family because they are unable to travel here. I know they always stop at Starbucks and Calvin's so Delta would lose out on their business. 155 Service geared towards peak commuters would likely take a lot of traffic off the roads as we won't have to run to pick up people afer work or for the morning bus. Increased density along 72 would make an additional route to the sky train very logical and a shuttle bus could link the neighbourhood up with that thouroughfare route as well (22 street sky train) 156 We originally moved to Sunshine Hills for the lovely quiet neighbourhood. Noise and traffic noise levels in particular have increased greatly. I fear that community buses and bus stop areas would lead to increased noise levels as well as litter graffiti and vandalism at bus stops. 157 Cities or TransLink should provide free parking lots so automobiles could go to a designated area then people can transfer to the mass tranist system. As it is, these lots are too infrequent and not in areas that bus stops are located. 158 We would never use transit as we do not require public transportation. We strongly object to havinga bus route in our neighborhood. We already have much too much traffic on Lyon Rd 159 Hope it will link with Sungod and ND Rec Centre 160 Shuttle bus service is needed in our SH neighbourhood especially for use by seniors but not only 161 Even though we do not reside in Sunshine Hills, seniors can use the service wherever we can use it. Both of us are in poor health with disabilities more transit is required. I have been a virtual prisoner in my basement suite since December 2018 162 Can TransLink provide secured bike compartment @ bus stop along 64th. If this plan of shuttle transit fails. 163 340 bus goes through Lyon Huff Westview continues on to 72 Ave. 340 & 319 should be intergrated 319 should not go to Newton. Continue service between Scott Rd and 22 station B-line service. Better late night service for the 340 (l1pm and 12pm) 164 3 out of 4 of our family would use public transit so much more if we had a shuttle to a sky train station 165 Should have proper communication/notification clearly indicate the route and provide additional assistance to elders and people w/special needs Attachment B Page 11 of 28 166 I would have appreciated a link to more info on this proposal as a new resident of this neighbourhood. A go ogle search revealed very little. I would suggest that providingmore info would increase your response rate ... having said this, I strongly support community transit on behalf of my family of 5 and in the hopes this community will take on decreasing car trips. Our move here from Vancouver has been such a positive experience but the dependence on driving we now have and see amongst residents is shocking. Bus service would particularly benefit youth who would get independence in travel for work and entertainment and older adults who would get increased freedom and decreased stress for frequent errands and activities. I myself as a busy parent would love the opportunity to decrease my environmental impact when possible. 167 We need it as soon as possible 168 This is a MAYBE, it may not count for your survey. It depends on which route the bus would take. Mainstreets like Lyon Rd or Westview Dr and Wade Rd would be too far for us but it would be good for others nearer (with no cars). Do you have a planned route? Concerns: Some streets are too narrow (like Sunshine Dr) for a bus to travel down safely. Roads are crumbling over the years and a bus would make things worse. Where would the route be? More than 1? It may help seniors in this area get out to shop etc if the stops are fairly close by. Noise issures with stops/starts. Exhaust fumes could be an "air quality" concern 169 We use sky train to commute into Vancouver for sporting events but that is the only times we have use of public transit. 170 Until the problems of pick up and drop off traffic illegal parking u-turns and traffic back ups in front of Seaquam & Cougar Canyon between the hours of 8am to 9am lunch time and 2:15pm to 3:15pm bus service down Lyon Rd during the school year is useless 171 Bring shuttle bus 172 It is long overdue that the bus service for the Sunshine Hill neighbourhool need to be improved. Half an hour between buses during off peak hours weekends and holidays is very inconvenient. It definitely does not encourage residnts in the neighbourhool to use the bus service 173 Would prefer more frequent regular bus service 174 Location ofthe stop would be crucial to the utilization ofthe bus route. Around our area, we would suggest setting stops at the Elementary schools and the tennis court 175 Having increased traffic will only add to further congestion & traffic jams in area. There is too many cars / behicles on Lyon Rd & Bond already and aspecially during hours of school operation (pickup and drop off etc) Too many kids from outer area's are in catchment areas of Cougar Canyon, Sunshine Hills and Seaquam this creating havoc with vehicles and traffic already 176 A community shuttle bus service does not belong in the residential area of Sunshine Hills. Bus services can be and should be near busier streets. Bus services bring many individuals to a community with schools, parks etc who should not be in the residential areas. This proposal was sent out many years ago and it was not approved. Hopefully, the result will be the same 177 We are transit exclusively. No cars 178 It would only be occasional use, not more than four or five times a month 179 We are away a block from 340 so that would be our choice of transit 180 Takes 20 minutes to walk to bus stop. Usually drive due to that fact 181 This is long overdue 182 It is time for a bus service. We live here for 42 years, off Westview Drive. Every year we pay Transit tax. So it would be nice to get the service Attachment B Page 12 of 28 183 Yes we really need it for kids to go community 184 Shuttle service need only be to existing bus stops/exchanges on Scott Rd/ND 185 Would like shuttle to run during evening hours 186 Thank you for everything you have done to us 187 Why is this being considered. Was there a demand. If no what are the numbers. I would need to know some details eg proposed schedules, costs, routes before I would support this. 188 Exactly what we need! 189 Nicholson Rd is busy enough without buses. Need speed bumps to slow drivers down 190 All households that we know in our neighbourhood have atleast 2 vehicles. We have lived here since 1980 and consensus to this point and time is that public transportation is not wanted/required in the area. Young adolescents have been frequenting our parks and playground facilities causing vandalism. They are also performing other illegal activities ie: drug trafficking and taking drugs and consuming alcohol while under age. Then driving impaired and also breaking by laws noise and time curfews. A shuttle service will make for easier acccess for offending persons. Weekday commuters have been using Lyon Rd as a shortcut for the Alex Fraser Bridge and HWY 91 to HWY 99. Several early mornings Lyon Rd appears like a parking lot! More pollution with shuttle buses. 191 Fully support the idea. Would like to see routes along Lyon Rd and Bond Blvd to provide connection to Scottsdale Mall and Safeway as well as Scott Rd interchange 192 Yes get something to stop commercial trucks driving down 64 Ave and Kittson Pkwy more Police presence may help. It is daily the truckers don't care it needs to stop 193 The shuttle wouldbemore convvenient and more household member could use it if the weather is snowy or if travelling over to connect with the 340 route to go the the sky train. It would be good to have when we retire in the next 5 years. 194 It is way past time that we had this type of service. We would really appreciate being able to access transit to do shopping etc 195 My boys will go to Burnsview for french. It would be nice to have a bus they could take up to the bus loop and down to school. Also it would be great for them to be able to take the bus to the movies or connect to Sungod or NO Rec Centre 196 It really depends on where the shuttle would run.Transit is notoriously inconvenient this side of the Fraser River. 197 over 20 minute walk to nearest bus stop!!! 198 Just get it done! 199 No members of our house use transit except for the odd trip to Vancouver for events. A shuttle might be easier to access the bus to sky train. I would favour a shuttle in the area depending on the route and access points and cost 200 Acces to amenable transit service is vital for the overall livability of every sub-division, community and ultimately the region. As the population grows in MV, transit will become an even more important factor in contributing to the reduction of congestion on the roadways and to protecting our air quality and human health by reducing harmful emissions from vehicle traffic. My family has been living in NO for 32 years. For the past 21 years we have been members of the Sunshine Hills community. During our time in the Sunshine Hills areas, we have found the transit service to be extremely inadequate. The closest bus stop is a 25-30 minute walk. A community shuttle service must be considered as a top priority fo the Sunshine Hills neighbourhood! 201 More transit = less cars on the road = better environment 202 Not many people would use the community bus. It would be a waste of money Attachment B Page 13 of 28 203 smaller transportation vehicles are a great idea-like the shuttles; particularly as the population ages, and to allow the disabled to participate fully in our community! Thank you for championing this! 204 I would like to know the porposed routes through Sunshine Hills. I have answered zero for No.2 queston and No for NO.3 question because our house is close to existing bus routes. 205 A community shuttle will increase noise, traffic, make more litter around stops. We do not want a community shuttle. Instead increasing frequency of 340, 311, 316, 312 and 364 will better serve us. Sunshine Hills is a quiet neighbourhood with no thur roads, community shuttle is wrong the the area. 206 NO Thanks. Where would it go? Straight to a very inadequate bus system? If you want to better serve the transporation in community, get translink to fix the bus service. 340 to 312 to Sungod takes an hour and a half, should be 10 minutes. Congeston on the 340 in the morning needs to be addressed as well. 207 We just bought a house at South ridge and Huff. There is no easy link to get a bus from our house should we not have our car, so if this could help bridge a gap we would welcome a bus route in the Hills. Most people need to have a car but we shouldn't if have a car. Most families have multiple cars and continuously need to drop off kids and parents because the area can be isolating without transportation. A small bus won't de-value our neighbourhood, or cause conjestion. I would be interesed in finding out what routes are being proposed. A link to the sky train is a priority from our new home 208 My wife and I don't currently take public transit but did for most of our lives. We grew up in Sunshine Hills near the roundabout on Lyon Road. For years we took the 340 bus everyday. When we bought our house at Baker & Wade we continued to rely on public transit for our daily commutes. We do not see a benefit to many public transit users if a shuttle bus came to Sunshine hills. It would not come frequently enough to help the daily commuter. It would lower home values on its route. The parking near the bus stops would remain dense because it still wouldn't allow access to many transit users. It would create noise and more traffic on already busy Sunshine Hills roads. 209 As my health deteriates the possibility for me using it increases 210 The current services on Kittson & on 72 is quite good but they are a long walk for those people centrally located in SH. A shuttle could encourage more people to leave the car at home.The shuttle must terminate at the Strawberry Hill loop. The 340 route on Kittson is already often full by the time it reaches Kittson-in part due to the transfer from Langley occurring at Scott & 64th. The new residences at Scott & Nicholson will add to the local loading of the 340, so a shuttle will give residents more flexibility if they are taken to Strawberry Hill for shopping or for transfer east, north or south. PS. why didn't you set this survey up for an online response option? 211 Recently moved from Burnaby. The bus C5 services the south slope of Burnaby. It would be nice to see a service like the C5 here in NO. The member in my household is male 27 years old. He chooses not to drive from Summit Crescent to Nordel. It would be useful for these communities to have a more local bus service 212 We live 2 blocks from 64 & Scott Malls and less than 1 mile from 72 & Scott Malls. We support those deeper in the hills who need transit. 213 It is very difficult to get to Burnsview from Sunshine Hills. In order to continue withe program it would be begneficial to drive to Burnsview or further on 112 and the students can walk 72 is very busy and not safe for kids to walk. Please consider this request Attachment B Page 14 of 28 214 So glad to hear a shuttle is being considered! Up til now to get to transit from my house in Sunshine Village to go to downtown Vancouver is a 20 minute walk to the 340 bus on 64 to HWY 91. A shuttle along Lyon Rd connecting with Nicholson going north/south between 72 and 64 would be great! the shuttle could loop between Scottsdale Mall, down Nicholson onto Lyon down to 64A up to Bond blvd, south on Knight Dr over to Summit Cr via 64A, that sort of thing. 215 Please reverse the "No right turn on red" at 73 and 116!! Please reverse the No Parking signs in front of Sunshine Hills Elementary. It has caused greater congestion and made the area dangerous for school children being taken to and from school! 216 lliveon Lyon Rd which is busy enough with cars parked helter skelter, mostly due to all the illegal unmonitored suite rentals on the south end of Lyon Road. Too much traffic as is. Limit the public transit to Kittson Pkwy and Scott rd, maybe Westview. 217 The reason I rarely use public transit now is because it is difficult to get out of my neighbourhood with the existing transit system. The bus on 64 Ave does not come that often. A community shuttle would be handy for local errands. And they should accept the same compass card used elsewhere. 218 I do not want shuttle buses going through Sunshine Hills. We have lived here for 14+ years and enjoy the neighbourhood with out the added traffic and noise. I use the bus services 3-4 times a week, for the last 12 years. Though it would be nice to have the buses that do come made more frequently. I like the neighbourhood with out shuttle buses going through it. 219 I believe most of Sunshine Hills upper {Ridgecrest, Hyland, 64A, B, Summit is already very transit accessible from Kittson Pkwy. The Sunshine Woods area needs more accessibility. As well as Lyon & Westwood areas. I would like to see more accessiblity from the Sunshine Hills/Woods area to Tsawwassen & Ladner. More regulare scheduled trips by transit. I once tried to get from Scottsdale Mall bus loop to Ladner, the time was over 1.5 hours 220 My concern is that there is no mention of where the stops will be located. From my knowledge where transit stops are there tends to be increased criminal activity. If the shuttle stops were to be located along the main streets, such as 64 or 72 street, I would vote yes for the shuttle. as it would likely benefit the community without substantially increasing rise for criminal activity in the neighbourhood 221 not needed 222 Lyon Road is already busy. There are no sidewalks on one side of the road. I do not want a bus stop outside of my house. 223 The present configuration of Lyon Rd sidewalks on 1 side only, street parking issues, Traffic circle @ Huff would make bus service an additional impediment to traffic flows. We would not prefer to see commuter parking (as seen on McKenzie) expand to Lyon Rd. Any bus stop near the Lyon/Huff traffic circle could pose safety issues as morning/afrernoon traffic at this intersection is already very heavy 224 We moved to ND 28 years ago, and live on Lyon Rd. We did not want a transit vehicle or bus stops in our neighbourhool (other than Kittson Pkwy) then, and do not wish either today. It is not far to walk to transit from anywhere in Sunshine Hills. Also, why spend our money on a money losing bus service/route ..... lt will never make maoney, let alone pay for itself. Please spend our hard earned money on far more important items/issues which help us all, rather than satisfying a few by attempting to provide this bus service 225 This is a very good initiative which will support the families, seniors and children in the area. We need a cross-walk at 72 Ave and 118 st. by the bus stop. 226 A large majority of residents have a minimum of 2 vehicles which are driven regularly. A bus would add to the traffic. Don't want bus stops located in the Shills community. People gathering and waiting around. Lyon rd is busy at peak hours with people commuting to work and transporting kids to school all by personal cars. a shuttle bus would not be useful. Don't want bus stops stopping flow of traffic Attachment B Page 15 of 28 227 First the community is a small area with bus service on the perimiter (64 & 72). Second, if elderly people can't drive or walk they can always call the handy dart system. Third, bus service always tends to bring in an element of crime. Fourth, policing the area would have to increase 228 Encourage Trans bus be used in areas need requiring the support; or use available finding for other benificial uses. Local residents consist of relatively younger population and are entitled to drive. Without adequate level of infrastructure/environmental vision and proctical knowledge. 229 I am a senior, 84 yrs, don't drive. 30 yrs ago when I moved to my present address, there was bus 319 and 312 that stopped on 70th and Nicholson. These services have been removed when Scottsdale exchange was built. I have great difficulty going to the mall, library, do my banking, doctors appts etc and i have given up all my social and recreational activities because of the transportation hardship. Even to mail this survey is a long walk, uphill and a great hardship with very little notice as i got it only today 230 long overdue 231 Run the community shuttles more often with fewer stops and alternate routes, often I find that shuttle buses become overfulled quite quickly and its rather annoying if you're the last stop 232 We live close to bus stops so if we were to use a bus, we are close. Many people in the area are very close to stops, so I can see that it would be beneficial for some people 233 We need sky train network 234 we both look forward to using such a service in our neighbourhood, after recently retiring. Great idea 235 This area has a lot of short cuts. Seems does not need public transit. Thanks 236 A community shuttle may alleviate some of the traffic congestion at the high school if parents let their children use transit. It would also help the many seniors living in the community who have driving challenges. The bus stops would need thought so seniors especially wouldn't have long walks to get to one 237 We are happy to have the community shuttle bus in Sunshine Hills. Our sons will use it 238 We would prefer effort be spent on reducing traffic that doesnot originate or terminate within the neighbourhood, rather than adding traffic to the neighbourhood. Traffic calming efforts are ineffective. 239 Start with a smaller (13 person or so) bus and make adjustment in a 6-12 month period of time. 240 Based on our public transit needs, we believea good community shuttle route would be one that starts at Scottsdale Exchange, goes down Scott Rd to 72, goes down Nicholson Rd, then Lyon Rd, up 64, then up Scott Rd to Scottsdale exchange. We think this loop would be beneficial to residents of Sunshine Hills because it would use a central street (Lyon Rd) and would facilitate connections/transfers to buses on 72, 64, and Scott Rd, as many residents currently have to walk far distances to access those routes/buses. 241 Think about to build a light rail to link up north and south Delta to sky train is better 242 We have more than enough big trucks related to new home buildidng in our area and on our street. We do not need more vehicles rumbling through. Also during school years, there are numerous parents using our street as commutor's road to pick up and drop off kids 243 This would be a wonderful idea to make transit even more accessible in Sunshine Hills. For some, the walk to existing bus stops is a little prohibitive; a shuttle would definitely make it easier. We do hope that the route would be designed in such a way as to ease up traffic flow around Seaquam. We also hope that there would be little opposition to a shuttle service, as less cars on the road benefits everyone 244 This service is long overdue! Wish it would have been available when our 3 sons were attending Kwantlen. Also important service for seniors who do not drive Attachment B Page 16 of 28 245 please see back of this page for additional comments. Sunshine Hills is an established family neighbourhood comprised of single family homes, many of which were built prior to the 1970s. There are no apartment buildings and the number of condominium/townhouse complexes in the neighbourhood can be counted on a single hand. The three schools in the neighbourhood (Cougar Canyon Elemntary, Sunshine Hills Elementary and Seaquam Secondary) are referred to as community schools, meaning their student populations reside primarily in the Sunshine Hills neighbourhood with their family homes being with wlaking distance of their school, so a public transit service should not be a priority. Many of the homes in the neighbourhood have narrow driveways, some only able to accomodate a single vehicle. Home owners, their young adult or teenage children, as well as their visitors park on the streets in front of their homes, leaving no room for either a bus or community shuttle to safely navigate. The question of intiating public transit services in the Sunshine Hills neighbourhood has been raised on numerous occasions since the mid- 1980s-without success. Hopefully, the same community result will occur this time as well. 246 I see no benefit to sun shine hills as a community we are boardered by 3 main Roads all a short walk from the center, differently abled and seniors have handy dart and the delta senior shuttle no need for more. 100% against 247 You should urge Translinke to run the 340 more often. 248 As a very good idea to have bus service in the area that would help who has to travel to Van or BCCA in Surrey or Vancouver. We would leave smaller carbon footprints for future generation. We would appreciate this shuttle service in the area. I can see myself using it for travel or medical appointments and to the airport and eliminate the need to take car and find pparking places. I rather play for bus fare than parking some where and (un legible) get parking tickets if I cant get there in time to put money in the metre etc. Very good idea, please keep on advancing the intiative. Thank you. 249 1. W eneed all the buses in time 2. Saturday, Sunday, Stat & Holiday. We need more Service. - We like our Transit service but sometime they cancel the buses without reason and passengers has to service. In the morning small buses are full they didn't stop here and we have a problem to reach (unlegible) job or school. Specially night time we need more service. 250 I would not appreciate a bus stop in front of my house and traffic is fairly heavy on Lyon Rd. Although, I don't think a bus will alleviate this problem. 251 Our son wanted to continue his French and attend Burnsview. We have a daughter who will soon be doing the same. With both parents working full time it is extremely diifcult to arrange the drop-ofts + pick ups each day from Burnsview. Our son has also walked from the highschool crossing busy streets, which is unsafe. Since we have no other option for a F I high school in our neighbourhood we have to endure the juggling act of transportation. Who are not continuing on with their French and attending Seaquam instead only because of the transportation issue. If maintain French beyond elementary school is important to the district then there neeeds to be a fair and viable option to get there. 252 I wondered if the bus times would correspond with the bus on Kitson Parkway or 120 street. If the vote is very close I would like to see a trial period for the bus. Thank you. A bus is definitely needed in this area. My daughter is a frequent rider as she takes the bus too work. her concerns are that the bus does not come more frequently to Delta. She is often bi-passed by busses or stranded. Many university student find the commuite to UBC extremely long 1.5 - 2hours. I think that this needs to be looked at frequency., and who takes the bus. 253 While I live close to 64 avenue and taking transit to a sky train terminals is great... I cannot transit within my neighborhood. Very easily. Going to SunGod arena and the North Delta Rec Center is easier to get to by car. Attachment B Page 17 of 28 254 Hard to answer when you don't provide a suggested/proposed route. If along Lyon Rd, how do you maneuver around the congestion at the schools for AM/PM pick up? The bus availability at Scottsdale and on 64 Ave is close enough- all within walking distance if needed. Although this is a council requested review/and up to traanslink to provide details, we would not agrree to needing a shuttle bus or any shuttle or any transit for in Sunshine Hills 255 Thank you so much for "considering" a shuttle bus for me! I had a car but now that I am older (76 yrs) but I don't drive, in good health. My greatest problem is going places in the fact that I had to walk 25-30 to get to 64 Ave/ Lyon Rd or to Scott Rd & 68 Ave. I have Dr's appointments, going to church, and going to meets friends in Richmond and downtown for other needs. PLEASE ME- I will be ever so grateful I can have a ride by a shuttle bus. I appreciate your plan to provide to provide this special help to me. Thank you so much. 256 It's TIME!! - We have been here for 20 years. The walk to 64th is 10min to 120th is 20-25mins. - Our kids drive to the bus or we drive them. It onoly make a lot of sense to have a lot less cars on the roadside. - Keep the congestion from so many cars near seaquam, or Cougar. The kids can take the bus ... less parents too! - While your at it do something about the 340 bus - Make the 340 leave 22nd when the last Sky train runs we are paying $30 for taxi's just for a short trip to Sunshine Hills. Thanks 257 we Don't feel a bus system is needed in Sunshine as there are several bus stop along 64th & Kitsway Way which are easily accessible by a short walk. This area is well served by private vehicles. 258 I think it would be very useful for those that don't have transportation. It would help them connect with other transport. I volunteer for Deltaassist and meet many elderly people in the community that have a difficult time getting places even within their community. Unfortunately, Deltaassist only drives poeple to their medical appointments, nothing further. 259 We only use AURT to get downtown (1-2x per month) and have to drive to station/bus stop. There are neighbours we know would use a community shuttle: elderly, special needs. We anticipate using this type of shuttle as our driving becomes less of an option in future 260 Suggested routing: Scottsdale exchange/nicholson/Lyon/Huff/Carnnoss/Bond/Knight/64th/Wade/Scott Rd to Scottsdale exchange 261 Shuttle service is not future planning. More bus services for current bus routes are required, #340,#319,#312,#312, etc 262 Public transit is a GOOD THING! But it needs to be accessible. I've taken the #340 bus for 25+ years and most people can't because it's a long walk from home. A community shuttle is desperately needed. 263 The 340 bus stops less than 1/2 block from my home, so I have no need of a shuttle bus for that route. If a community shuttle bus would improve connections to other routes or destinations I would be in favor. Regardless, I support the idea of a shuttle bus, but because of present access to Transit may not need to use it. Thanks! 264 This is a great idea for the neighbourhood. Especially for people who may not be able to drive or have limited access to a car. 265 Should have happened years ago 266 Traffic flow through this community is already excessive due to the backup on 72, putting a bus service will just add to an already busy traffic artery. 267 Improve the 340 service 268 A shuttle would be very helpful for the youth and elderly in the area. Attachment B Page 18 of 28 269 As seniors my husband and I have to walk 1 kilometer to the closest bus stop and then take the 340 to 22nd st station - get off at Granville station walk to NO. 17 bus and get off on 41 /Oak in total this takes us 1.5 hours each way. When we take the same route back we are lucky to get a seat and extremely fortunate if the driver stops at McKenzie in Delta. A community bus will somewhat ease using public transit. The sooner the better. 270 Would like to keep this quiet & safe neighbour forever. Thank you! 271 I think a shuttle bus service in our neighbourhood would be beneficial and would save people from driving their own vehicles to work or school. Currently it is so inconvient to access the transit services. This shuttle service would allow students more opportunity to get to school and work easily. 272 We would only use it occassionally, to connect to routes that go into Vancouver. 273 Would be nice to get to Sungod easier 274 We don't like Translink to bring community shuttle bus services to the sunshine Hills because its will bring too much noises & traffics. 275 Thanks for asking our opinion. 276 Sunshine Hills residents are aging, many of us have lived in this community for 30-40 years so a community shuttle would be beneficial for all 277 A shuttle bus on Nicholson Rd would be greatly appreciated. 278 We feel that a shuttle bus that services Lyon Dr, Nicholson, and Westview Dr would encourage more people to use transit 279 I am not in favour of a community bus for Sunshine Mills. I do not wish to encourage patronage of the new casino being built. However I would like to see the 340 schedule increased to more frequent service. Saturdays & even during non-rush hour travel has become much more crowded in the last 2-3 years to the point you can not even find a seat on the bus route during off-peak times. Which makes it very difficult for seniors, elderly & people with mobility issues. 280 I hope this shuttle bus works out 281 NO Buses! I do not want a bus stop in front of my house. It would eliminate two parking spots that we really need. 282 Include mini bus along Lyon road. 283 Very good services to have!! 284 Service is definitely needed. Handydart is useless for Delta Residents 285 Make this shuttle affordable. Maximum service in winter months would be good to consider 286 Convient operating times, 6am-10pm M-F. 8am-8pm S+s 287 As of now it takes over 1 hr to get from Sunshine Hills to George Mackie Library! A community shuttle would be great! 288 This would be a wonderful service for the seniors 289 Don't know anything about times & routes, or destinations/limitations? Matters! 290 Not enough information provided about the service: route, frequency of runs, cost of trip, etc. .. Sunshine hills is very small area, we should keep its character. Not clear what we are trying to improve. Concern about increasing traffic on 72nd/64. Understand that we have school buses that should be available to bring kids to and from schools home. It is not a case? To help elderly people move around to do shopping etc. Shuttle etc ... Shuttle running only few times a week might work. Dont like to see bus running as a regualar buss - consider frequency 291 Thank you for your concern, much appreciated. 292 Looking at my frontage - NO- 293 Please email me proposed route and how often it will operate_ Attachment B Page 19 of 28 294 Two or more household members are on Disability. One is legally blind and definitely requires this service. 295 Need more frequency on the 340 route. Frequently passed by full bus. 296 Easy access for kids attending Burnsview Secondary from this neighbourhood please! Thanks! 297 We live in N. Delta, use public transit frequently, but are north of Sunshine Hills, so this questionair doesn't apply to us. 298 Any form of public transportation is long OVERDUE! On Westview Dr 299 I am very against bringing this service to ss hills. We do need the added access to the neighbourhood. Traffice, crime, and garbage would be an added burden 300 My age 5+ limits me from transit useage. I've been in this house 60 years and don't know if we had it when my was younger we would have used it. 301 The use of a shuttle bus sounds good however it all deoends on time schedule and route plan. Does the shuttle plan on staying local ego Scottsdale, Scott Rd 84 ave - 64 ave or Further afield. EG. Queensborugh or South Surrey 302 A shuttle service in Sunshine Hills is unnecessary. In any direction, we are under a kilometer to a useable transity stop. These present available transit services would be more frequent than those of the shuttle service as predicted from other similar shuttle services. Shuttles stops would add additional noise as they stop and start. Photochemical pollution, and congestion to our neighbourhood with the additional slower halting progress of the shuttle would increase and the number of commuter car on the road would not decrease because a shuttle service would not decrease the transit time for commuters, especially since many of them come from outside this area. Our streets have single sided sidewalks on most streets, so the addition of shuttle stops will be a significant cost to Delta tax payers for the construction of these shuttle stops. In addition, they would destroy the beautiful frontage gardens for which Sunshine Hills is noteworthy. Also, it would create more garbage in these areas. House prices near community bus stops would drop. Suggestions: Talk to us again when you can guarantee electric buses that would be quiet and nonpolluting. Mind you, this would only solve some of the issues I have outlined above. 303 Many Roads are being used by commuters in Sunshine Hills. Ie Lyon road is a major artery. Too many close calls between cars & people (mostly children). A bus would legitimize neighbourhood roads becoming major arteries for traffic. 304 They should increase the service of route & 340. Lot of people are going to sky train/downtown only one bus is goes to sky train and service is half hour in the afternoon 305 Shuttle bus should run during school times. This will help school rides to make use of transit services, especially high schoolers. 306 Not at this time 307 it's quite far to walk to scott 72 or Lyon rd to connect with current transit buses 308 We are moving to interrior 309 The lack of bus sevice is very difficult for students, seniors, and residents who need an alternative to driving. It is critical for our neighbourhood to have bus services. 310 Would have been used frequently when my kids were traveling to school at Seaquam secondary. 311 I don't see how this bus would help the community. It's not clear who the target group is and likely wouldn't meet our family's needs. I believe it would add congestion, noise and lower safety to our neighbourhood. 312 Would save driving to bus stops 313 Introducing public transportation will encouraage rental properties in our area leading to the decline just like surrey Attachment B Page 20 of 28 314 The neighbourhood was designed not to have bus traffice between 64 Ave and 72 Ave. The City of Delta is consistently removing height and set back restrictions to allow much larger houses. Each large house has 8- 10 vehicles. There are cars parked on both sides of the streets. There is not enough room for two way traffic. Even small buses will require that our side of the street must posted No parking. That will only make the parking problem worse. Bus traffice will also disrupt the neighbourhood from early morning until late evning as they will run a schedule. At present there some traffic as people go to work or school, but it does not continue all day. I am a senior and i can walk to Kittison Parkway in 10m ins or to 72 Ave in 20 minutes; when I catch the bus. There is already Handidart service for those who are mobility impaired. We do not want expanded bus service in our neighbourhood. 315 Sunshine community in poorly connected and serviced by public transportation system. These in need to incease the transportation facility for children and elders. 316 My primary interest in the service at this time would be as a link from sunshine hills to other parts of North Delta - primarily Sungod; NDRC & Burnsview for my Preteen Daughter. 317 It would be great if we can have more options if public transit. Sometime it takes more than one hour to wait for the next bus if the bus is late due to technical/accidental issues. I sincerely appreciate this opportunity. 318 Please ensure bus operates along Lyon Rd and connects to bus service from 22 st station and/or Scott Rd station. Bus service schedule suggestionh 6am-9pm 319 If there is a need I favor it. At this don't I don't need it and also don't understand a lot the service as for areas and times. 320 Due to an increase of cars in the community (subdivided properties, secondary suites, youth requiring cars to travel/accom school activities, children at home long etc) these are reduced options for parking and signifcant increase in street parking. Often, cars are parked both side of streets. In areas, such as McKenzie Drive on Lyon Rd, or Bond Blvd, this leaves "one lane" for traffic. At curves & on hills, this creates blind spots & extremely hazardous. Given increased traffic and increased parked cars, it in already difficult to migrate in neighbourhood. Adding, shuttles to these areas is not logical, feasible or secure. Finally, the proposed service through Sunshine Hills appears ineffcient, given that the 340 already connects to Scottsdale Exchange and provides serve points around the community. 321 Not knowing the schedules and routes of any community shuttle bus service makes it difficults to answer question #2. However, the option of a shuttle bus is a possible advantage. 322 I am not sure what the proposed route(s) would be, but I would favour an "upper" and a "lower" Sunshine Hills Route plan. I suspect many people just need to connect to 72 & and 64 ave. Routes more quickly. I would NOT support a route that winds all through the neighbourhood like a milk run as that would not save any time 323 This is an old neighbourhood. Many seniors soon won't be driving anymore. It is much needed. 324 We do not want anymore traffic coming on Wade Road as a not trap with cars & trucks trying get away from 120 St. We are 1 block from 64 and bus stop & 1 block from Scott Rd that service from sky train stations. 325 We are close to #340 but its not frequent enough during off peak hours. We need a shuttle to Scott road station rather than changing buses to get there. #340 takes us to the sky train but it's not frequent enough during off peak hours or when AFR is backed up. Will the shuttle take us to Walmart, Strawberry hill Hill or Scott station? Then its useful. If it is just circling sunshine hills and taking us to see scottsdale bus exchange then it is not useful .. Or take kids to Seaquam and other areas. Attachment B Page 21 of 28 326 I am not sure how many residents realize this shuttle bus exists. For those who do and use it I am sure it is very appreciated! Marketing, ads specifically in Sunshine Hills area households may even improve ridership if "printed schedules" are included. I think especially for seniors and not all seniors are savy "online". Also the "routes" and "stops" etc. Could and should be shown in print! Thanks for asking. My mom is a senior in this area. 327 I don't think there is a need for shuttle buses in Sunshine Hills neighbourhood as its only a short walk to bus stops on Scott Road & 64 Ave. I would rather see more resources /funds are put into increasing more bus routes to sky train stations and different areas in Surrey and Delta. Short walk to bus stops is good exercise and can promote health living. 328 We are strongly in favour of a community bus. Our neighbourhood is underserved. The only concern is increases street parking around bus stops. Lyon Rd (for example) already a tight squeeze at times. Perhaps limit parking to one side of street only. 329 It should go down Lyon road for access too cougar canyon elementary, seaquam secondary and sunshine hills elementary. On Friday and Saturday nights the bus should run until midnight or at least have a bus at 11:30pm. This will definitively help prevent youth drinking and driving! This is a great idea! It should increase the economy within scottsdale mall and help employment and the environment! It should also stop lose to the Strawberry Hill library if possible and the the Strawberry Hill cinema! These are great attractions for teens! :) [draws hearts around shuttle bus picture] 330 Only use transit (bus/sky train) occasionally but I am in favour of a community bus service being available - I personally would probably use transit a little more frequently if such a service was available. Would need to know more details. Frequency of service, hours of operation, type of equipment, where will bus stops be located - Lyon road has become very busy, bus stops in certain locations could make traffic congestion worse? 331 My family would greatly benefit from additional services in the area. Currently both of my children use transit, but due to the show & low service they rely on me and my husband for rides to and from the bus stop. Having additional shuttle services would allow my 16 year old son to get to school on his own. Additionally, this bus service would also facilitate neighbourhood children movement after school hours. 332 How can we answer the 2nd question until we know where the route will start and end and how often the shuttle will run? This is a poorly designed survey as there are no specific details in either question lor 2. There is a definite need for better transit opportunities as currently, the wait times for buses is too long. How often do you mean? Daily, weekly, monthly. 333 A good move, a good ch e. Translink was contacted, this was suggested 4 years ago. A family friend, translink employee visited us when we moved home and we told him about the problem. He suggested that Sunshine Hills would need a community shuttles and he encouraged me to call translink and I did. this will be very helpful, I always see kids walking odwn from Southridge from 72 - quite a distance. I myself experience this problem. 334 This is a long overdue service needed in our neighbourhood, but understand concerns of homeowners on main streets 335 Sunshine Hills is a quiet neighbourhood addition of a bus will disrupt the peacefulness of Sunshine Hills. In addition, the streets are very narrow and families generally own cars, a bus will not benefit the majority of the population. 336 I am strongely in favour of this initiative as it will reduce traffic in the area and be especially useful to seniors and teens Attachment B Page 22 of 28 337 Users may include students to school (teachers too); connection to other bus routes (all); access to shopping along Scott Rd (all) 338 I would also suggest increasing service for the 340 bus line to 22 Street sky train station 339 I have three boys and my wife they are all use public transportation. Shuttle bus will be great opportunity for us 340 We live close to transit however, believe the service may be of value to those in community without easy access ie: down Lyon Rd. We would support this proposal 341 Traffic is already at maximum capacity during peak times. I can't imagine adding a shuttle to the mix. No to the shuttle bus 342 It would have helped to know what the proposed route would be and the frequency of service. This questionaire was rather vague 343 Only in favour if electric vehicles are used 344 It would have been more information such as where the shuttle proceeds to the bus system and expected daily times thru the sub-division. 345 This area is not served yet we pay TransLink taxes. Seaquam school needs transit. Good initiative by Mayor/Council 346 We both use public transport occasionally. We would both use the shuttle bus yes. We would favour Delta requesting TransLink to bring community shuttle bus service to Sunshine Hills 347 Hard No. I have been a resident here since 1992. Decreases propety values in Sunshine Hills on the community shuttle route (not fair for those living here) increased traffic already - a shuttle will not decrease it. Shuttle would not support connections to other bus services, as they are limited (community shuttle). We have 2 bus routes that service the area @ Kittson Pkway and Scottsdale already. Lyon Rd is too conjested with street parking to promote this. Street is ok now and we do not want bus stops outside our homes with people loitering or waiting for shuttle service 348 No requirement for shuttle in Sunshine Hills. It will only cause traffic problems and potential harm to neighbourhood safety. Strongly disagree 349 I live on Westview Drive in Sunshine Hills and am very opposed to a shuttle bus. The survey would not let me send it. I hope you receive my email. 350 Transit is available on 120 Street and Kittson Pkwy, both very accessible to any Sunshine Hills residents who require transit service 351 Connect Sunshine Hills to transit & help for seniors/students in this area who may not drive. Seaquam school kids can use it 352 We may not use the bus too often but we feel it would be helpful to many residents of SSH-elderly, students, anyone going to sky train via strawberry hills 353 This will be a great addition to this neighbourhood and give younger population access to inexpensive transportation. It really helps with independence would it be stopping around lYon as well as at Sunshine Hills Elementary? Important that service is not only around the perimeter of the neighbourhood but in the centre as well 354 Would be nice to have community shuttle that would take you to complex at 72 & Scott Rd and/or 64 & Scott Rd as too much hassle with regular transit to get to those locations. Right now we would need 355 We are in favour of a shuttle in the community. However, more importantly, we'd like to see better connections between Kittson Pkwy and sky train 356 It's a long walk to go to 64 or 72 to catch public transport especially in winter. For older people it is hard to walk long distance 357 310 bus need change to big bus. And need more 340 bus service in this area Attachment B Page 23 of 28 358 I commute to the Scott rd station and then downtown 359 Many homeowners in the Sunshine Hills community are original owners and now elderly. They could very much use a bus service to local amenities. We know neighbours who have moved elsewhere due to better access to shopping via a local bus service, or within walking distance. The bus line should include stops at 120764, as well as 120 & 72 Ave to provide access to many amenities and medical services 360 Depends on the route for use 361 We need better public transit links from Sunshine Hill to Ladner and Tsawwassen 362 not necessary 363 The shuttle bus service in Sunshine Hills will be used considerably more than present due to the advancing age of We find that usage will be considerably higher than existing usage due to increased convenience for all commuting surrey and Delta line. Increasing ages of members in our house will have a very possible impact on shuttle service here. We strongly recommend new shuttle lines for this neighbourhood 364 Wondering why we are going through this again when a majority voted for it in 2011. I thought a mojority vote carried! I wonder what a majority has to do to be "resondingly" in favour. What this Council has to realize is - Sunshine Hills is no longer a quiet neighbourhood, there are far more irritating noises therse days than a community bus. We are surrounded by sound, and houses being demolished to make way for mega houses on treeless lots (large trees being removed at will) and plastic grass. The noise is often from early morning until evening. There are still people in this neighbourhood that would welcome a community bus. I wonder if the "rabidly" opposed are still around! 365 Much needed 366 There is no need for a shuttle service. There are ample bus stops within a few minutes walk to any arterial road. The road layout in Sunshine hills would create additional road hazards, even if the shuttles operated on major streets. The added impact would present dangers to pedestrians, especially school aged children and the elderly. Finally, I noticed at the last meeting when this was discussed the people who spoke in favour of shuttle service did not in fact live in the neighbourhood but in fact had been paid to speak 367 Need to support the demand it's been way overdue 368 My house is very close to Scott rd so it doesn't matter to me. What I would like to see is more regular transit service along the Scott rd corridor. I would like to see the 311 hours expanded and the 340 running more frequently! The 364 does help but not much. South of 72 Ave the bus service is only sporatic and encourages a person to drive rather that use transit 369 It's a tentative yes. I would need to see the roads being used; how often and where the stops are. People already stop/park illegally on my block and lawn in front of my house and my driveway is used on a daily basis for cars who are turning around. It would be a definate No if a bus stop was put in front of my house 370 As far as I know the support for bus in this neighbourhood whether that be community shuttle or not, is very low. I hope not to see this proposal again. 371 As a recently retired senior, I can see that this service would be helpful in the years to come. It would be good to have the bus go up to Sungod Rec. Centre and George Mackie library, the new arts centre and the kennedy seniors centre. Also connecting to shopping along Scott rd. 372 I think this is needed for a variety of people in the neighbourhood - elderly, young people those without a car. A shuttle to a sky train station would also be ideal but also to main hubs and high schools. In bad weather for those who don't live close to a bus stop which is many in this area it can be quite a trek. Plus this could encourage more people to take transit and have less cars dropping people off Attachment B Page 24 of 28 373 Bottom of Lyon Rd (what used to be 109A) is not wide enough for this service. And to head off any discussion, it should NOT be widened. I don't believe traffic will be reduced by this service as the dempgraphic of the neighbourhood will not get out of their cars. Much traffic load is due to out of destrict students attending schools in the area ... again, this shuttle will not reduce that traffic. Traffic on Lyon Rd is growing due to school attendance by out of district students, bypassing busy routes as a shortcut, growth in population due to allowance of suites. Lyon rd is a quiet residential street and requires additional restrictions on it to descourage it's use as a through road. Speed bumps need to be made full width of road. The current speed bumps are completely useless as cars maintan speed and just straddle them. Speed should be reduced to 30km/h like Sunwood. Community shuttles operate on a very limited schedule whic hlimits their use dramatically. Seniors who need the service alread ycan call for a Delta shuttle on demand. I understand this service is even expanding. I am concerned as to effect on property values of living on a bus route. While I understand not everyone responding to this survey lives on Lyon Rd, i do. I feel the residents on Lyon rd (assuming that will be the shuttle route) need to hve a bigger voice in deciding this as it directly affects us. Could you please tell me what the process is for me to present a petition to Delta to: lower speed limit to 30km/h on Lyon rd, have speed bumps re-built so they actually work, have Lyon rd blocked off part way to end its use as a through road from top to bottom. This was done on Baker many years ago. 374 Usage for us would depend upon days & hours of service. However, if we believe that there are a number of people that would definetely utilize the service. It is a long hike to catch a bus at 72 or 64. Particularly for seniors, persons w/mobility issues and from the inner streets. I know my senior mom would completey appreciate it 375 I live off of Lyon Rd. but I am not interested in seeing a bus running along this street all it will bring is unwanted people who do not live here to this location to pilfer things from peoples homes. So NO I do not want this so called convenience the price is much too high we have told you this for over 35 years. Please listen 376 There is already too much congestion around the school areas in Sunshine Hills-I think this would make it worse 377 With a shuttle bus thru Sunshine Hills commuters wouldn't have to drive their cars and park them on McKenzie Drive and 64 Ave 378 This issue was a factor in how our house voted in the last municipal election. As our population density increases we need to develop our infrastructure to support this public transportation, particularly community shuttle buses bolsters up the most vulnerable in our community and promoting green and affordable mobility 379 As a younger senior able to drive may need to utilize this service in the future 380 Yes, yes, yes, please. Especially during winter months. It would be a great alternative and help for someone like me who doesn't drive and my daughter sometimes comes home late from work. 381 It would be nice to use electric vehicles as community shuttle bus 382 We helped spearhead the opposition previously to oppose the buses. We don't want additional traffic, noise, pollution and trash that is part of it. In your questionnaire you will find that the people that reply YES will say NO if it is on their street. It is also not that far to walk to the existing stops (Scott Rd or Kittson). Previously they wanted to run larger buses and we were told Lyon Rd was where it would go as it was wider, although Bond is in the center of Sunshine Hills. Where will the smaller buses be running? We have an absolute nightmare of traffic on Lyon Rd now and we don't need anymore. We are very opposed to this plan. Attachment B Page 25 of 28 383 In theory great idea. But presently our main roads in the Sunshine Hills area are already congested without adding translink to it. Lyon and Westview are busy streets adding TransLink chuttle service will not decrease the congestion. Many residents park in the street due to driveway on a hill. Putting bus stops in the street will limit parking to many residents. Presently the walk to a bus line outside of Sunshine Hills is not far - on Kittson Pkwy which I have used before. Lets keep our community as is . Why the need to change. I've lived here for over 20 years never once have I ever heard anyone interested in bringing in a bus service. 384 Yes if we were to get a commercial bus service. I would like it to come more often. Would like to see buses connect to a TransLink depot. Where we can get to downtown easier. The 311 only runs from 5:30-8:30am, would like a bus that runs to Ladner. 385 Great. Excellent idea for our community 386 My daughter attends Seaquam and has many friends throughout Sunshine Hills. Currently (as a 16 yr old) she is foced to bike, longboard or walk, sometimes that is after dark. A bus would be safer. 387 We have been out of the country for extended vacation - just returned 388 We do not want bus stops and large bus style vehicles in the neighbourhood. The traffic has increased with vehicles from outside the neighbourhood. We don't want more traffic on our streets and bus stops 389 What would be beneficial is additional bus for the 340 Kittson/64 Ave! I have seen numerous times the bus is full and continures to 22 st station. Residents walk 20 minutes to that bus stop on McKenzie/Kittson and Lyon Rd/Kittson having to wait another 30 minutes or an hour if the next bus drives by. Please add another bus to that route, that is actually necessary. 390 We need more services like this in NO. Many residents are isolated and not just seniors. Great idea, I hope this moves forward. 391 A bus that takes people from Sunshine Hills to Burnsview and back would be amazing for highschool students and their parents who have to drive them 392 This is a small neighbourhood, its quiet and the streets are single laen. It will not help with school traffic, will be heavily underutilized. Rather it will hinder local traffic, cause noise pollution and delay traffic on these single lane streets. I also dont understand why this survey is being done during the summer, when so many local fimilies are away on vacation. Why is the survey turn around time so short?? We do not support this shuttle. 393 Our children will eventually be attending Burnsview HS. A community shuttle would be a great thing for them. It would currently be a very long commute by public transit for them. 394 I am very much in favour of this shuttle bus and would greatly appreciate it being elevated to high priority. The key demographics I see in the neighbourhood, seniors, and those with young kids or teens would all greatly benefit from a shuttle bus that provides greater access and connectivety to other key areas of our community. Specifically being able to easily get up to Nicholson rd, driving past the high school would be a huge asset to link together the community to important parts of our lives, like education and also getting groceries, etc. Also, being able to connect easily to 64/Kittson to the transit along there would make the commute easier for many. We have a great community, but there is a need to connect it to other segments better to improve mobility of seniors, young kids and also remove excessive cars from the road for congestion and environmental impact. A community shuttle bus fits the model need for Sunshine Hills and i would strongly encourage this being a priority item 395 It's a very good idea Attachment B Page 26 of 28 396 This inquiry is in regards to the recent survey about a bus through Sunshine Hills. I would like to know the purpose of the bus? Is it for increase access to service? If so I think that the area should be slightly expanded to include access to Sungod Rec Centre as well as one of the two nearby libraries. These are great attractions for youth. Furthermore, i think having a single bus run late in the evening for example 11:30pm of Fridays and Saturdays would aid in preventing drinking and driving and would allow parents to set a curfew of 12pm for youth. See SR#305249 397 I would use it during the rainy weather and likely during winter (snow) weather of course, it would depend on the routes taken by the community shuttle bus 398 Should have been done a long time ago. Young people especially need it. We would also use transit more often if we didn't have to walk so far to use it. 399 Our current transit options are very poor to 22 st station only 400 If its an easy access we will use it all the time, as of today no transit close to us. Bus route along Lyon Rd from 64 Ave to Scott Rd would be very helpful, we have no transit in this area now 401 There is no transportation ever. So some buses would be nice! Especially for old people 402 Age of residents suggest that it would be a great idea. Destinations would have to be a large consideration 403 I believe this is long overdue. Also there are a few more elderly residents and it is tougher for them to get around. 404 We do use transit if going into Vancouver but we lave a block away from the bus stop at Wade & 64. We are also retired so do not need the use of transit daily 405 I experience bad services from translink in the past. Will not use the buses if possbile, it will bring unwanted people and crime into the area. I have seen it and you are looking for more policies to keep investigating more crimes and break-ins. Keep the buses off the residential area 406 Due to numerous speed bumps and poor road conditions in this area I feel that a bus would add to the current traffic chaos occurring during school hours. Livi on Bond Blvd, near three school zones, it takes so much time to get to and from work. As engineers, should address the current "pot hole" situation before adding more traffic. 407 We feel this is not needed in Sunshine Hills 408 Current answers raised on current circumstances - future due to possible health changes itc could significantly change the position 409 Many residents may need this. We support this if users pay. Translink does not appear to use their resources very efficiently. Those of us who have never used it are already subsidizing the service for others 410 Would have been helpful to have told us about likely routes and stops 411 Any events it would be great to have the shuttle bus (BC Lions) Canucks White Caps etc. so you can get to the bus stops easier, it would be good for seniors wanting to get around. 412 Almost every household has a car. We don't need buses. No bus 413 I support shuttle bus services. I'm 65 now and if I get injured and cant drive a shuttle bus would be helpful 414 We cant answer this without knowing the possible routes 415 We have been residents of this beautiful Sunshine Hills area for 40 years. We support the introduction of shuttle bus service, if well planned. There should be a connection to bus stops on Kittson Way and Scottsdale Loop. This could minimize vehicle traffic and be a convenience for people going to work, going to Vancouver or Richmond 416 Yes we want shuttle bus in Sunshine Hills Attachment B Page 27 of 28 417 Use bus to go to library, ND rec centre and Sungod arena 418 The service that would be most useful to us is a shuttle bus to and from the Scott Rd sky train station. 419 I could see us using such a service once we retire in a year or two, but not until then 420 We would take the shuttle to shopping areas 64B Ave and Scott Rd, 72 Ave and Scott Rd depending on where one can catch it 421 We hope this is approved this time around! Transit is very important to a community and the shuttle bus service has been a great addition to other neighbourhoods 422 there would be less carson road in rapidly changing ND 423 Yes only if bus does not use Nicholson Road. Traffic problems now and will only increase when apartment development on easst side Cowly Exit Nichsolson. Problem will increase 424 It is very important and I can say you hit the nail up on the head 425 Ramifications if bus stop in front or across from your residential home and devaluing your property 426 I think that transit will bring crime and homeless to our neibourhood! No Transit 427 Yes to transit; Less cars parked in the neighbourhood by transit users. Any initiative to get people out of cars. Would be nice to see proposed routes in this mailing 428 There is very little need, if any for a shuttle bus for Sunshine Hills residents. There is a need for better service to major downtown locations 429 With the schools, speed bumps, more traffic due to our neighbourhood having a lot more traffic the past 10 years trying to avoid 72 Ave. I think it would be a nightmare due to single lanes. 430 Will you set up the station close to Scottsdale Mall? 431 We would like specific info on the actual route. We may be in favour 432 Depending on the route and where the stops would be located. Support would also be dependent on proper garbage containers being provided & regular pick up of garbage 433 Say which streets the buses will run on Before you ask if we want them 434 It would be great if it went from Kittsosn pkwy to Scottsdale exchange! Kids to take to school. Serve people in the middle of Sunshine Hills better. Seniors could take to mall to shop without cab or family member 435 Yes we support community shuttle service 436 Please keep Sunshine Hills safe, clean and green. There are to many cars already. Please do not add to traffic, pollution and congestion. 437 Are you going to include Westview Drive as part of the route? 438 I don't think there is a big need for it. The bus service currently running is already well covering Sunshine Hills community. It is better not to keep a busy transport within the community for the sake of good environment and peace of neighbourhood. Energy saving is also a benefit. 439 I would like to have had more information to better answer this servey and provide you more accuracy with my answers. I would like it to go to sky train 440 Seniors needing transit to Scottsdale 441 As a long time home owner on Wade Rd I would be etremely upset to find a bus stop on my front lawn area. We have little children as well as a cancer survivor and the last thing we need is a line of people with their smoking, garbage right outside our front door!! We currently have to deal with dog feces on our lawn on a daily basis and we don't even have a dog. If for some reason this goes ahead I would like to see the route because if its anywhere close to my house, i would need time to sell my house as it would be unacceptable to have a stop anywhere near my property. Attachment B Page 28 of 28 442 Please keep our family posted on any updates regarding the shuttle bus transit service in Sunshine Hill, the closest bus stop is 20 minutes walking distance from us and this service will really benefit our family. Thanks 443 We have had the option to use bus service in the past and found it didn't serve our need. Late night and early mornings from pub. Late night and early mornings from pub and restaurants 444 Would the community shuttle bus drive thru the Sunshine Hills area for about 1/2hr before going to the main bus loop off 120 St? Don't think that would be worthwhile! 445 It might be a better service in Delta to encourage people to go to other area in different means of transportaton especially for seniors. Please consider it as high priority as not so many people like to drive if more variety of transportation could be reached. Most of the time we drive to work. Sometimes we take buses. If the transportation is convenient and easy to reach, we might encourage our friends to use that. 446 please increase or make bigger bus for route 310 in weekends mostly in peak hours. I am really helpless on 310 route since I made so many requests, but no one is listening 447 I do not wish t osee this community shuttle bus in our neighborhood. Too many people would be entering the area -no need 448 Sounds like a great idea. Where would the bus take people-ex. The rec centre, different malls, to bus stops?? Would the bus have a specific route through Sunshine Hills, times? Days of the week? Where from - pick up times to go and return? We are confused as to how the community shuttle bus operates-Is there a plan? and information 449 No needed 450 A shuttle service between Sunshine Hills and Sungod Rec Centre and ND Rec Centre would provide greater access to the programs in these locations, particularly for our children. They would use the service if it existed. 451 As long as it does not come every hour. 452 This is a much needed service for this area and will be well utilized 453 There is enough traffic in Sunshine Hills, we don't need anymore! If we do use transit we always walk to Kittson Parkway or 72 St. NO TO SHUTTLE BUS! 454 It could run in conjunction with school opening times so children wont have to get wet on rainy mornings 455 I would very much be in favour of it because my daughter suffers from a disability and the shuttle buses are much easier to access 456 Request for a morning shuttle to King George station 457 This is a great idea, given limited transportation in the area 458 Great idea. 459 Thank you for asking 460 There are kids that could use it to get to school in Delta and seniors who can't walk as far anymore 461 It likely would be helpful to have shuttle service during peak hours. I suspect it may be under-utilized at other times. Alternately, I would like to see the #340 bus be re-routed up Westview Drive instead of the current parallel route on the 91 between Kittson Pkwy and 72 Ave. This would better meet the needs of my family. Then a peak hour shuttle service.
