Dear Mayor Green and Councillors: LEGISLATIVE SERVICES
Re:__ Mufford/64 Avenue Overpass - “Option J”
‘The City of Langley supports the Township of Langley and its partners in the Roberts
Bank Rail Corridor Program (RBRC) and previous long term transportation plans in our
collective efforts to improve transportation in our communities and the region.
‘The goal of these plans is not isolated to improving train movements but more
importantly, it reflects our common desire to improve both the road network efficiency
and the rail network efficiency through a variety of initiatives including the construction
of road/rail grade separations; advance warning devices; track improvements; as well as
other road network improvements. The City of Langley has long sought to make
significant improvements to the transportation network by eliminating road/rail conflicts.
Most recently, the City, with funding from TransLink and the Province, constructed the
204 Street Overpass. This project was constructed with sufficient capacity to meet the
needs of the City and the Township as part of an integrated, long term transportation
solution. We see the Mufford/64 design option as an essential element of an integrated
transportation network in the region.
‘The Mufford/64 design as currently envisaged achieves a number of significant benefits
to our communities and the region as a whole:
+ Network redundancy — creates an alternate east/west corridor to link the
communities and provide a route that can be used if other, very limited routes are
unavailable.
* Network connectivity — provides a contiguous east/west corridor stretching from
Hwy 91 in Delta, through Surrey to east of 232 Street in Langley. In addition, it
will also provide more connectivity options for the communities when the
Province constructs a new interchange at 216 SUHwy 1.3219 diysumoy,
