Yesterday, I posted about Langley City's 2023 audit financial statement and that we received a clean bill of financial health. Today, I am highlighting amendments to our 2023-27 Financial Plan and 2024-28 Financial Plan.
As part of basic housekeeping, once we've received our 2023 audit financials, we need to update the 2023-27 Financial Plan and Capital Projects and Improvements Plan to reflect those financial results. Council gave first, second, and third reads to approve this update in principle.
As we move through the year, the City and Council's priorities for improvements and projects change. We can also receive funding for projects from the federal government, the province, TransLink, ICBC, and others. These changes mean that Council must approve amendments to the plan throughout the year. On Monday, Langley City Council gave the first, second, and third readings to approve the following changes in principle.

Will the cycle lanes planned on Langley bypass be separated ones ? Same with the skytrain multiuse path. These changes will make it pleasant to walk in those places where it’s currently undesirable. So looking forward to actual implementation of it.
Yes, they will be separated.
Any idea when these bike lanes will be constructed?
I believe in 2026 as we are building up the funds
