I posted a few weeks ago about the now approved Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation Investment Plan for TransLink. This plan will deliver improved transit service throughout the region, especially in the South of Fraser.
On Monday, TransLink presented some of the plan’s highlights to Langley City Council, focusing on Langley and the South of Fraser.
Many people do not know that TransLink also funds the major road networks, such as Fraser Highway and 200th Street. The investment plan includes a 70% increase in rehabilitation funding for the major road network. For Langley City, this works out to an additional $1.27 million per year in funding. Langley City will also get $616,000 for active transportation projects such as new sidewalks and bike lanes.
The following slide from the presentation shows improvements to the bus network.

The network will be significantly improved, as you can see. One highlight is the new transit access to Campbell Valley Regional Park.
These improvements will start rolling out immediately, though it may take a few years for them to be fully implemented across the transit system.
