Six-Storey Apartment Project on 54A Avenue

On Monday night, Langley City Council gave first and second reading to a rezoning bylaw, which if approved, would allow for the construction of a six-storey, 70-unit apartment building at 20239-20249 54A Avenue.

The following shows a rendering, site plan, and landscaping for the proposed building.

There are a few things that I wanted to call out about the proposed apartment.

It will have 13 studios, 31 one-bedroom, 21 two-bedroom, and five three-bedroom units.

There is another proposed development to the north. If both these projects are approved and are constructed, a new section of the lane will be built connecting Michaud Crescent to 54A Avenue, providing another connection to improve access within the neighbourhood.

Lately, some underground parking excavations have caused some partial cave-ins, which is concerning. While the City requires new measures to reduce this risk, it has been more prominent with two-level underground parking. This project proposes to have one level of underground parking, which is typical for the area.

Mayor Pachal, you say there are concerns about the two-level underground but you make no mention of the three-level underground parkage approved for the second of three buildings on this same street, 54A Ave. We have grave concerns about this.

I confirmed there are no three-level underground parking proposals.

That is good to know, as we had been told, perhaps unofficially, that the new build to the other side of us on 54A Ave would have a 3-level parkade. Glad to hear we were misinformed.

The three level could be floating around because projects have groud-level parking as well.
