Our Society

“I for one am a firm believer that instead of SkyTrain expansion in Surrey we should be looking at At Grade Rail. At Grade Rail is significantly cheaper, easier to build and much more aesthetically pleasing than SkyTrain. Surrey cannot wait until 2020 for improved rail transit. At Grade Rail can be completed much faster. I have great confidence in the potential of At Grade Rail, and I am currently having City staff analyze this option so that we can move it forward.”Ai??(link)

 

Langley Mayor Rick Green: “Interurban service should be fast tracked, at least achieving excursion runs within the next couple of years.”Ai??(link)

 

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz: Light rail linkages between communities would be invaluable. The track could connect the University of the Fraser Valley and there could be tourism and business opportunities that we’ve only dreamed of.”Ai??(link)

Delta Councillor Bruce McDonald: “I really do believe 10 years, 15 years from now that line will be as important to the valley as the old Interurban was.” (link)
