Today is the start of public consultation on the two block section of Fraser Highway through Langley City known as the One Way .
The City is looking for resident and business input between Sept. 20 and Oct. 4 on suggested redevelopment options for the retail street.
“Every year, we see more people moving to Langley to enjoy everything our community has to offer. Initiatives such as the Fraser Highway One-Way Improvement Project help us to plan together for the future and give everyone a say in what our downtown should look like,” said Mayor Ted Schaffer. “We are excited to provide designs that reflect what people said they wanted, and to hear which design people prefer and why.”
There will be an online survey. People can check out a report on the project and more online.
Or people can attend one of two open houses on Saturday, Sept. 22 and Tuesday, Sept. 25 in City hall, 20399 Douglas Cres.
The City is replacing the underground serving (water, sewer and other utilities) and will use the construction as an opportunity to redevelop the One Way.
Draft options include items such as trees and greenery, public spaces (patios and gathering spots), and improved pedestrian amenities (safer crosswalks, sidewalks and lighting).
City staff involved in the project will be on hand at the open houses to answer questions.
Saturday’s open house is in the Timms Community Centre, multipurpose room 2 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Tuesday open house is 5 to 8 p.m. in council chambers.
Give your say on the Fraser Highway One-Way Improvement Project by attending an Open House at City Hall on Sat. Sept 22 from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. or Tues. Sept 25 from 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. #langleycity #theplacetobe https://t.co/bukN6jiXpW https://t.co/rebmtTJRHG pic.twitter.com/Edh8LhcDiJ
