With the support of TransLink funding, Langley City Council approved tendering a $2,910,425 (excluding GST) contract to Jack Cewe Construction Ltd. for safer, protected bike lanes between Fraser Highway and Collection Drive along Glover Road.
This project will have bike lanes similar to 203rd Street between Fraser Highway and Eastleigh Crescent with improvements to curb letdowns for people cycling.

Between Eastleigh Crescent and Collection Drive, the bike lanes will have a 1-metre planter buffer between general vehicle lanes and the bike lanes.

The bike lanes will extend to KPU to provide a safer cycling route for people visiting the university campus. The bike lanes do not extend to the Langely Bypass as that section of Glover Road is owned and maintained by the provincial government.
In addition to the new safer bike lanes, water main renewal, storm sewer renewal, on-street transit measures, and other road rehabilitation work are part of the tender.
Once completed, there will be a gap in the safer bike route network between 203rd Street and Glover Road. I look forward to seeing a plan to connect these two cycling routes.
