Today, I wanted to cover some of the non-financial matters that Langley City Council addressed at its Monday meeting.
Council gave final reading to allow a rezoning and issued a development permit for a 27-unit, three-bedroom townhouse project at 4505-4535 200A Street, which is just north of Alice Brown Elementary School. You can read more about this project in a previous post.
Council also received, but did not adopt, the Public Parking Strategy that I posted about previously. Further work is needed to engage the Downtown Langley Business Association, so it will be up to a future Council to decide whether to adopt the strategy after that engagement. In the meantime, there will be no change to on-street parking management, including time limits in the City.
Langley City is a certified bat-friendly community. Bats are important because they help manage pests, pollinate plants, and spread seeds. The City owns the historic Michaud House near Portage Park, and Council approved installing a bat house on the property as recommended by Council’s Arts, Recreation, Culture and Heritage Committee.
Council received a presentation from the Langley Bee Club on becoming a certified bee-friendly community. This is something that Council’s Environmental Sustainability Committee is currently working on, so the Club was invited to present to it. We all know how important bees are to our ecosystem.
Council received a presentation from TransLink about the Bus Rapid Transit project that will connect Willowbrook to Haney in Maple Ridge. TransLink staff noted strong support for Bus Rapid Transit in Langley City and that travel times along the route would be comparable to driving. You can learn more about Bus Rapid Transit on TransLink’s website.
