SURREY, B.C. – Transit improvement projects in Surrey are going full speed ahead thanks to $11 million in funding.
The city is getting funds through TransLink’s Municipal Funding Program, which supports maintaining, upgrading and building new transportation infrastructure throughout Metro Vancouver. Seven Surrey projects are being supported through the fund, from building cycling tracks and multi-use paths to constructing sidewalks and widening roads.
“I am pleased to see road network upgrades being supported in Surrey through the municipal funding program,” said Mayor Doug McCallum in a press release. “It is essential we keep our roads in good working order to ensure our network moves smoothly for our citizens. Whether it’s driving, taking transit, walking or biking, these upgrades will support healthy lifestyles and green travel options. At a time when the environment and global warming are at the forefront, the need to provide individuals the opportunity to get out of their vehicles and have access to sustainable transportation infrastructure has never been greater.”

- 100 Avenue Cycle Track Projects – $1,564,200
