The City plans to complete road connections on 84 Avenue from 120 Street to Fraser Highway. An alternate, direct east-west connector will help increase road safety, connectivity and travel options. Construction will be done in phases over the next five years.
At the May 31, 2021 Council meeting, Council authorized staff to proceed with detailed design of ‘Option B’ for 84 Avenue between King George Blvd and 140 Street along with related enhancements to Bear Creek Park. ‘Option B’ includes providing cycling and walking primarily along the south side of 84 Avenue to mitigate tree impacts within the Reservation Area. Council also authorized staff to proceed with tendering for construction upon completion of detailed design.
Project Detail
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.
