STOP PRESS! A SNEAK PREVIEW OF TRANSlINK’S LIGHT RAIL PLANS FOR SURREY AND BROADWAY

TransLink has announced its vision for light rail in Surrey and along the Broadway Corridor. After months of searching. TransLink officials have jumped on board "green transit" with their Eco-friendly LRV and released  a picture of a Dutch "green" tram.

"Now we have carbon neutral transit for the 21st century"; stated by a TransLink spokesperson at a photo-op earlier today, "The trolley jolly boys up the valley can't not complain we are anti LRT!"

On a local talk radio station, an official from TransLink pooh-poohed the idea that TransLink's idea of LRT was very mid 19th century, but they did admit that their new light rail vehicles are much slower and have much less capacity than the SkyTrain metro system.

"We are planning what the people want in the Fraser Valley", later opined a transit official.

Malcolm Johnston, noted light rail advocate said, "At least if the tram breaks down, like SkyTrain's recent record, one can ride the horse to their destination."

The final decision will be made in the first week of April, 2012.
