Project Description
The City plans to provide an alternate, direct east-west connector to increase connectivity, road safety, and travel options.
The 84 Avenue Improvements from King George Boulevard (KGB) to 140 Street Project is Phase 1 of the City’s plans to complete the two missing road segments along 84 Ave between 120 Street and Fraser Highway (shown in Road Network and Project Location image below).
Completing the missing links will provide a continuous east-west connection between Newton and Fleetwood. The direct route will increase neighbourhood connectivity with convenient, safe and reliable transportation options including improved sidewalks, cycling paths, and easier access to transit.
This alternate route will also help alleviate the heavy congestion on 88 Avenue and KGB, Surrey’s most dangerous intersection when it comes to motor vehicle collisions.
The vehicle lanes will be built within the existing road allowance and under the BC Hydro power lines, not in the Bear Creek Park Reservation Area.
