South of the Fraser Information Sessions
Posted on November 3rd, 2007 in surrey, transportation, urban planning |
TransLink has been working over a number of months on a new South of Fraser Transit Area Plan. Up until now, there’s been one document released going over the results of the first community open houses, discussing a transit vision for the South of Fraser area. TransLink has formalized that vision into a plan, and despite being behind schedule, it’s now prepared to take this plan to the public for final consultation. This is your last chance to make an major impact on transit South of the Fraser. Area plans define specific improvements, and are supposed to occur every 5 years. The South of Fraser area’s last plan was done in 2000, so obviously TransLink isn’t always good at keeping on schedule.
It is imperative you attend at least one session, and *make* everyone you know voice their opinions on the plan.

By the way, TransLink’s South of the Fraser site also has a very informative FAQ section discussing rapid transit, reuse of the Interurban line, Abbotsford connections, and express buses being rerouted to the Canada Line.

If they weren’t so long… I know, I know, I’m passionate about this but that’s a really long session!
The FAQ says the rail option is expensive… and that rapid transit will most likely happen with buses for the next 20 years or less. I hope they’re not seriously going to wait that long to put in more SkyTrain!
@ Erika. I’m pretty sure it’s just drop in. You don’t have to stay for the whole thing.
Oh thank goodness.
I’ll think about it, then. It’s kind of ironic… I was at Guildford on the 3rd (yesterday), and will probably be at Willowbrook on the 10th which is quite the opposite of their sessions. The only one coming up on a weekend is the 10th and I have other plans that day but we’ll see. Which one are you going to?
