"The City of Surrey will be immediately proceeding on building the 84th Ave extension after the B.C. Supreme Court decision today that the City of Surrey is well within its rights to proceed."

The Safe Surrey Coalition-led City Council approved this project in July largely due to the heavy congestion at 88thAvenue and King George Boulevard.

For many years, this has been Surrey’s most dangerous intersection when it comes to motor vehicle collisions.

The 84th Avenue extension will provide a safe, convenient and reliable alternative connection between Newton and Fleetwood that will alleviate pressure at the aforementioned junction.

I am also proud of the City’s efforts to mitigate environmental impact by utilizing existing road allowance under the power lines to construct the vehicle lanes.

This is a proposal that has been considered by Council twice over the past two decades, yet without action ever being taken.

Over that time, countless accidents, injuries and even fatalities have occurred because of a complete lack of leadership.

Today, we are finally able to move forward in the best interests of Surrey’s residents and I am proud of the leadership of the Safe Surrey Coalition in getting it done." - Mayor Doug McCallum

City of Surrey, B.C., says it lost $2.5 million in 'irregular transactions'

The City of Surrey says it filed a civil lawsuit against a former employee, looking to recover $2.5 million worth of ``irregular transactions.'' A statement from city manager Rob Costanzo Thursday says the lawsuit was filed last year after staff identified problems dating back to 2017 involving dormant development-deposit accounts. Costanzo says staff first spotted irregularities in early 2024 and the city conducted an internal review, engaged external forensic specialists, and reported the situation to the RCMP. He says police are conducting a criminal investigation and the cit
