Why does the B.C. government ignore this low-cost passenger rail network proposed for the Fraser Valley?
71% Informative
A 99-kilometre light rail alternative to the $6 billion SkyTrain extension from north Surrey to Langley City has been recommended.
The South Fraser Community Rail Society has been working for years to get B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation to take seriously its proposal to reactivate a light rail line that once operated south of the Fraser River .
The light-rail system would directly connect north Surrey with about a dozen Fraser Valley cities and towns — a region of 1.3 million people.
It would also be vastly cheaper than SkyTrain .
The South Fraser light rail network was unanimously endorsed in 2023 by the council of Langley Township , including Mayor Eric Woodward , who is chair of Metro Vancouver regional planning committee and serves on the board of TransLink.
B.C.’s Ministry Of Transportation and Transit says it is continuing “long-range planning” to better serve the needs of the people south of the Fraser .
