REPORT TO
MAYOR AND COUNCIL
PRESENTED: OCTOBER 5, 2009 - SPECIAL MEETING REPORT: 09-122

FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIVISION FILE: 6540 - 20
SUBJECT: ALDERGROVE CORE PLANNING PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Council receive the report entitled “Aldergrove Core Planning Program”, for information;
and further
That Council authorize staff to proceed with a Public Open House to obtain community
feedback on the preliminary design concepts for downtown Aldergrove.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Aldergrove Core Planning Program is proceeding as previously outlined in Report
No. 09-30 dated March 9, 2009. An Aldergrove Core Design Charrette was held in June, with
over 40 people attending the day-long event.
The Charrette produced two preliminary design options or long-term visions. A copy of the
concept options report presented to the Aldergrove Planning Committee (APC) at its meeting of
September 17, 2009 is included as Attachment A to this report. The (APC) has recommended
a public open house to obtain community input on the two preliminary design options.
PURPOSE:
This report provides an update to the Aldergrove Core Planning Program and seeks Council’s
permission to host a Public Open House to obtain community feedback on the draft concept
options for downtown Aldergrove.
Page 15 of 103
D.1
ALDERGROVE CORE PLANNING PROGRAM
Page 2 . . .
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
On March 9, 2009, Council received Report # 09-30 and authorized staff to proceed with an
Aldergrove Core Planning Program (including a design charrette) as part of the Aldergrove
Community Plan Update. Subsequently, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued for the
Aldergrove Core Planning Program. HB Lanarc was selected as the lead consultant for the
project.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
On June 6, 2009, an Aldergrove Core Design Charrette was held with over 40 local residents,
business owners and community stakeholders attended the day-long event. The participants
produced two preliminary design concepts for the downtown core area. Subsequently, the
Aldergrove Planning Committee (APC) and Township staff reviewed the preliminary concepts
and provided additional feedback to the consultants. The consultants incorporated the feedback
into the two preliminary concepts which were presented to the APC. On September 17, 2009,
the APC passed the following motion:
“That the Aldergrove Planning Committee:
• Receive the draft Aldergrove Planning Program - Concept Options

Summary Report,
• Recommend that the plan draft report be presented to Council for
information purposes, and
• Recommend that Council approve the scheduling of a public open
house to obtain community input in October.”
The attached “Aldergrove Core Planning Program – Concept Options Summary Report, Draft
September 10, 2009” documents the two preliminary design concepts.
Based on the Charrette Directives (see Page 5 of the Concept Options Summary Report), the
preliminary design concepts represent different approaches to key urban design and functional
considerations for the downtown area, including:
• treatment and vehicle capacity of Fraser Highway,

• mobility network within the study area,
• street orientation of new developments,
• built form and density,
• civic and cultural uses,
• development adjacent to Bertrand Creek, and
• the Aldergrove Mall site.
The key differences of the two preliminary design concepts are summarized on page 8 of the
Concept Options Summary Report.
As part of the Aldergrove Core Planning Program, a study exploring economic implications and
development opportunities for the downtown area was undertaken by G.P. Rollo and Associates
(land economists). The study indicated that downtown Aldergrove has excellent long term
potential for redevelopment. The two preliminary design options are anticipated to take place
over the next 30 years, characterized by continuing population and employment growth in the
Fraser Valley, both of which will fuel the demand for residential and commercial uses in
downtown Aldergrove.

Next Steps
The APC has recommended a Public Open House to obtain feedback from the community. The
tentative date for the Open House is October 29.
Based on community feedback, a preferred option would be selected (or a new one developed
with elements from the two preliminary options) by the end of 2009. The preferred option would
be presented to the APC early in 2010. The APC would then recommend the Preferred Concept
(complete with detailed drawings and design guidelines) to Council in February-March 2010.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background, Purpose & Overview
The Township of Langley is undertaking the Aldergrove Core Planning (ACP) Program. This
process will lead to the formulation of a conceptual development plan for downtown
Aldergrove and inform a review and update of the Aldergrove Community Plan currently
under way. This planning process seeks to establish a common vision through community
consultation that defines land uses, sets an urban design vision, considers possible densities,
and sets policies to guide growth and development in downtown Aldergrove. This will
include detailing the type and location of housing and commercial buildings permitted in
the downtown, and outlining pedestrian, cycling and transit integration measures. The plan
will also identify natural areas, key public spaces, recreation locations, and community
facilities.
The Township of Langley has retained a consulting team led by HB Lanarc Consultants to
conduct urban design and planning work as a key component of the ACP process. The
ACP process is structured around a comprehensive public and stakeholder consultation
program. The consultants assisting in this process are working closely and collaboratively
with Township Staff (transportation, engineering, planning and other technical staff)
which together make up the ACP Project Team. Guiding and overseeing the process is
the Aldergrove Planning Committee which is comprised of Aldergrove business owners,
property owners, resident and stakeholder representatives and Township Councillors and
established by Council to provide input, liaison and guidance throughout the process.
Public and stakeholder events form the backbone of the ACP process, which includes
meetings, workshops and public open houses at critical stages. A public design charrette
held June 6th was the key public event in the overall the ACP Program, resulting in two
alternative options for the downtown. Comments and feedback collected at an APC
workshop and a technical working group workshop held subsequent to the charrette,
formed the basis for further revision and refinement of the two options.
The Concept Options Report is a key deliverable in the ACP program, presenting the results
of the process to date including detailed descriptions of the two alternative concepts
developed at the charrette. Community and Council feedback, along with a technical
evaluation by the Project Team of the two concepts presented in this report, will lead to
the identification of a preferred concept option and form the basis for more detailed plan
development including a land use plan, policy recommendations and a set of design
guidelines to implement the urban design vision established through this process.

1.2 The Aldergrove Core Planning Process
The ACP process is structured around APC and Project Team workshops and public open
houses occurring at key stages of the process. The consulting team includes expertise
in sustainability planning, urban design, landscape architecture, ecology, and land
economics. The process began in May 2009 and is expected to be completed by March,
2010. To date the process has included the following key tasks and events:
• Project Team kick-off meeting (April 27): key project tasks, events, deliverables and
outcomes were confirmed with Township Staff;
• Background/technical review and synthesis including the relevant policy framework
and an overview of development trends and opportunities;
• APC workshop # 1 (May 28): identified key issues and opportunities facing downtown
Aldergrove, provided an overview of best practices in creating sustainable and
livable communities and neighbourhoods, and established a vision and set of
planning and design principles to guide the development and refinement of
alternative concepts;
• Preparation of the Design Brief which contained the necessary background
information and instructions to guide the development of alternative concepts at
the Charrette. The instructions included a set of design principles and objectives that
were crafted in response to input provided by the public, stakeholders and the APC
to-date, and the relevant policies contained in the Official Community Plan and
the Draft Regional Growth Strategy. The design instructions also include key facts
about the site along with a set of assumptions regarding projected population and
employment projections to 2031.
• The Charrette (June 6): a multidisciplinary public design workshop with over 50
participants that included members of the APC, Township staff and the consulting
team. Participants formed two charrette teams which resulted in the two alternative
concept options presented in this report.
• Refinement of concept options: The consulting team refined the two concept options
based on the broad directions identified at the charrette.
• APC workshop #2 (June 23): Refined concept options were reviewed by APC to
confirm key elements and details, and identify further information needed for
presentation to public and council.
• Project Team workshop #2 (July 24): Technical issues and constraints presented by
each option were identified and discussed at a workshop attended by the consultants
and Township staff.
• Preparation of Concept Option Report: summarizing process results to date including
the two concept options was developed, forming the basis for public/stakeholder
evaluation, feedback and the selection of a preferred option.
The preferred option will be based on feedback gathered at an upcoming public open
house, council workshop and APC and Project Team meetings. The preferred concept will
define the location, type and intensity of land uses, open space and mobility networks,
urban form and massing, and form the basis for the development of detailed policies and
design guidelines for both public and private realms.

Downtown Aldergrove Study Area
Page 22 of 103
D.1
Existing Land Uses in the Downtown 1.3 Area and Context Overview
The downtown Aldergrove study area is approximately 80 acres in size. It is centred on the
intersection of Fraser Highway and 272 Street, and bounded by Bertrand Creek to the north
and east, 29 Avenue to the south and 270 Street to the weStreet
Aldergrove has its roots in farming and agriculture. Downtown Aldergrove is the traditional
commercial and service centre for what used to be a predominantly farming community,
but which has over the years transformed into a predominantly residential supported by a
range of primarily local serving commercial uses and with some industrial and agricultural/
rural uses. Today, the downtown continues to have a wide variety of commercial and
service uses supporting a range of surrounding residential uses including single family
homes, duplexes, townhouses and apartments. The majority of residential lands within the
study area are large lot single family homes ranging in age from 30 - 60 years old, with
some townhouses and apartments including two fairly recent four-plexes located on 30th
Avenue west of 272 Street
Aldergrove’s small town heritage is reflected in some of the built form and design elements
of the downtown, including the location of buildings at the sidewalk edge, the heritage
facade treatments of some buildings, and the pedestrian orientation and amenity of some
of the buildings and public open spaces. Commercial uses are concentrated along Fraser
Highway and 272 Street, and range in use from small local serving ‘mum and pop’ businesses,
to larger commercial businesses and buildings including Fields and the Aldergrove Mall.
Currently, there are approximately 120 active businesses and roughly 338,000 sq. ft. of
commercial space within the study area. Due to the proliferation of new commercial/retail
service centres outside of the downtown over the past several decades, the commercial
vitality of the downtown is not what it once was as evidenced by a number of vacant store
Commercial Residential Civic/Institutional Utility fronts and the existence of some marginal businesses.
The large volumes of vehicular and commercial traffic at peak periods along the Fraser
Highway impact the quality of fronting businesses and the adjacent pedestrian environment,
despite the attractive and substantial street-scape enhancements that took place in the
late ‘90s. The street system includes a limited network of lanes and is laid out in a modified
grid pattern with an east - west orientation. The figure ground diagram below shows how
the large blocks within the study area create gaps in the transportation network and reduce
the overall connectivity of the network.

1.4 The Charrette
The Downtown Aldergrove charrette was held June 6th from 9:00 to 4:00 at the Rotary
Field House in Aldergrove. A Design Brief was provided to all charrette participants to
inform and guide the development of alternative concepts. The Design Brief contains a
summary of relevant policy, technical and land economics information to provide the
necessary background information. It also contains a set of instructions and directives, the
key component of which are the Design Objectives. These were compiled from the 2004
Aldergrove Community Visioning Program, and revised and confirmed by the Aldergrove
Planning Committee prior to the charrette.
Charrette Directives: Design Objectives

1. Reinforce downtown as the social, cultural and commercial heart of the
community.
2. Increase housing choice and density in the downtown while ensuring a high
degree of livability.
3. Incorporate mixed-use developments in the downtown including housing located
above commercial uses.
4. Focus (and potentially reduce) the extent of commercial uses to create a vibrant
commercial core.
5. Consider re-orienting commercial development in a north/south alignment; reduce
linear development along the Fraser Highway.
6. Incorporate built form, layout and open space design that supports transit-use and
cycling for everyday travel needs.
7. Prioritize pedestrian activity in the core area to create a truly walkable downtown.
8. Create options for vehicles and goods movement traveling through the downtown
core to minimize vehicle impacts on the traditional commercial high street along
the Fraser Highway.
9. Create an attractive and distinct public realm and interconnected open space
network that emphasizes pedestrian comfort and safety and reinforces the small
town/rural identity of the community.
10. Create a greener downtown that provides parks, street trees and protects and
enhances Bertrand Creek as a focal point.
11. Incorporate built forms, open space treatments and innovative infrastructure that
reduces overall environmental impacts.
12. Develop alternative concepts that establish a long term urban design vision for the
downtown that is innovative, visionary and bold in achieving true community wide
sustainability and livability to 2041 and beyond.

Methods for Generating and Discussing Ideas 1.5 Charrette Structure & Process
The charrette included two design sessions interspersed with presentations and plenary
reports. The charrette began with a presentation by the consultants and Township staff
to provide the key background information and establish the context and key design
instructions for charrette participants. Charrette participants then broke out into two
teams and the design work began. Each team had two urban designers (project
consultants) with technical and design support from the charrette facilitator and
Township staff.
The morning and afternoon design sessions were structured around three general
themes:
• Street Network, Land Use and Context

• Built Form and Building Types
• Public Realm: Streets, Squares and Open Spaces
Design around each theme occurred concurrently throughout the day. The charrette
included a number of plenary sessions where smaller groups reported back to their
respective charrette teams. Methods for generating and discussing ideas included
context and “special places” mapping, conceptual land use development, block
modeling, visual preference mapping, and general discussion which was documented
through diagramming, drawing and writing. At the end of the day, the design teams
produced illustrated concept plans of the entire study area to varying degrees of
completion, concept design drawings of special study areas, cross sections, conceptual
land use plans and some perspective sketches. In addition, policy and implementation
strategies were documented for each concept.
The charrette concluded with an “end-of-day pin-up” where team members presented
key elements from each concept and answered questions. Some participants posted
comments on individual drawings.
Following the charrette, the urban design consultants refined the preliminary concepts
produced at the charrette to provide more detail and information on the two concepts
developed. The refined concepts were then presented to the APC and township staff at
two separate post charrette workshops.

2.0 TWO ALTERNATIVE CONCEPTS
2.1 Overview
The downtown Aldergrove charrette and subsequent design work resulted in two alternative
concepts: Concept A: “Quartiers” and Concept B: “Great Streets”. These concepts show
different approaches to the location, intensity and type of land uses and built form, the
mobility and open space network, the treatment of the public realm and street-scapes,
and the treatment and vehicle capacity along the Fraser Highway. The two concept
options also showed a number of similarities and consensus points. Following is a summary
of these key similarities and differences.
Summary of Key Similarities and Consensus Points

Both concepts propose:
• Significant changes in land use and increase in density within the downtown;
• The introduction of a range of mixed use building types ranging in height from 3 to
16 storeys;
• An expansion of the extent of residential uses within the downtown, with a focus
on low - medium density attached ground oriented housing forms with some taller
residential buildings up to 16 storeys; Concept A: “Quartiers”
• A slight reduction in the extent of commercial uses (while maintaining or slightly

increasing capacity for commercial floor area);
• Transportation network expansion to increase pedestrian connectivity (particularly

north-south connectivity) within the downtown and along the Fraser Highway;
• Street-scape enhancements and enhanced pedestrian orientation throughout the

downtown;
• An enhanced arts/cultural/civic focus for the downtown;
• Emphasizing Bertrand Creek as a major green space, pedestrian corridor and

focal point for activity, including incorporation of strategic bridge crossings and
restoration and “day-lighting” of the creek as part of future public and private realm
improvements;
• The introduction of a number of small urban public parks/plazas, and
• Public open space provision and design to accommodate a public farmers market
within the downtown.

3.0 Conclusions and Next Steps
The two alternative concepts developed at the charrette represent different approaches
and design choices for achieving the overall project goals and objectives. Preliminary
evaluation of the two options by Township staff, the consultants, the Aldergrove Planning
Committee and the public will identify preferred elements and approaches from each
of the preferred concepts to incorporate into a preferred hybrid concept plan to carry
forward with more detailed planning and design.
Acknowledging that the two alternative concepts were produced and refined very
quickly at the charrette and post-charrette workshops, there are likely to be some
technical challenges with some elements in each of the plans, which will be identified
and addressed as part of the technical analysis and critical evaluation that is the next
step in this process. However, overall the charrette was a very productive, creative
and collaborative event that identified a wide range of approaches for managing future
growth and change in Downtown Aldergrove and setting the foundation for further
collaboration moving forward to a preferred concept and supporting set of polices and
guidelines.
Next Steps
Following the presentation and approval of this report at the September 17 Aldergrove
Core Planning Committee meeting, this report will be presented to Council for
information and approval to proceed to a Public Open House tentatively scheduled for
October 29. These two concept options will be displayed at the open house for public The Downtown Aldergrove Charrette team
comment and feedback. Township staff will report to Council on the results of the public
review, the professional technical review and the evaluation process following the Open
House.
The resulting final design concept, which incorporates the most desirable elements
from each of the two concepts, will form the foundation for the development of policy
recommendations and urban design guidelines which together, will become a key
element of the Updated Aldergrove Community Plan.

REPORT TO
MAYOR AND COUNCIL

FROM: ENGINEERING DIVISION FILE: 5260-23/3
SUBJECT: MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN – ROAD NETWORK PLAN AND
CLASSIFICATIONS
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Council receive the Master Transportation Plan report; and
That Council endorse the Road Classifications Maps 6.2A (Attachment C) and 6.2B
(Attachment D) to replace the existing Highway Classification Map P-1 (Attachment A) and the
Master Transportation Plan – Road Cross-Sections Map (Attachment E and F).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Township Engineering Division has been leading an update of the Master Transportation
Plan for the past several years. The plan update included a review of the transportation vision
and goals, examining existing conditions, identifying problems, transportation modeling,
identifying improvements, development of a plan, and public consultation throughout the
process. The latest version of the plan was presented to the public in the spring of 2007.
The plan incorporates changes resulting from revisions to Neighbourhood and Community
Plans as well as major regional projects, plans, and initiatives such as the Golden Ears Bridge,
the Provincial Transit Plan, the South of Fraser Transit Plan, the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor
Study and the Provincial Gateway Program. The Township is also undertaking a review of its
cycling routes. The changes resulting from the draft bike route map have been incorporated
into the transportation plan. The Township is also undertaking a review of its subdivision and
development control bylaw which includes modification to road cross sections.
As a result of these plans and initiatives, new road classification maps have been developed to
replace the existing Highway Classification P-1 Map. The new maps include a road
classification map for the entire Township that identify major and minor arterial and collector
roads, a similar classification map for the Willoughby area and a new Road Classification Map
that identifies road cross sections for every arterial and collector road within the Township. The
Engineering Division will recommend future updates to Council for changes to these maps
necessitated through changes in neighbourhood or community plans or provincial and regional
plans and initiatives.
The Master Transportation Plan also reflects the goals and objectives of the Township’s
Sustainability Charter, adopted by Council in June 2008; in particular with respect to:
• Integration of transportation in community planning;
• Conserving and enhancing our environment; and
• Reducing energy consumption.
PURPOSE:
To seek Council endorsement of the Road Network Classification Maps component of the
Master Transportation Plan.

MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN – ROAD NETWORK PLAN AND CLASSIFICATIONS
Page 2 . . .
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
The Township of Langley is responsible for an extensive transportation system that provides for
the safe and efficient mobility of people and goods. The Township guides the development of
its transportation system through its Master Transportation Plan (MTP) primarily using the
Highway Classification P-1 Map (see Attachment A – Road Network and Classification).
The P-1 Map was last updated in 2004 to incorporate major changes as a result of
neighbourhood and community plans, as well as major regional road network changes such as
the Golden Ears Bridge. The Master Transportation Plan was last updated in 1988. The
current update of the Master Transportation Plan was undertaken by Ward Consulting. A copy
of the full report is available for viewing with the Township Clerk.
The goal is to prepare a future Transportation Plan that will “guide the orderly long term
development of the Township’s transportation system in an effective and economical manner”.
The plan focuses on the development on an updated road network and classification map as the
basis for the transportation system. The information will be used to assist in updating future
transit and cycling routes and facilities within the Township.
The major steps undertaken as part of the Master Transportation Plan included:
• Examining existing transportation conditions

• Identifying problems
• Transportation modeling
• Identifying road network improvement options
• Developing a road network plan
• Public Consultation throughout the planning process
The project was initiated in 2003 with a review of the Township transportation vision and goals.
Public consultation and feedback was obtained throughout the planning process including
newspaper ads, public open houses, visioning workshops, and household surveys, with the
most recent meetings occurring in the spring of 2007. The plan has been revised to incorporate
the latest changes approved through neighbourhood and community plans amendments. The
draft plan has been revised to be consistent with other regional and provincial plans such as:
• The Golden Ears Bridge and related road network revisions

• The Provincial Transit Plan
• The South of Fraser Transit Plan
• The Roberts Bank Rail Corridor Study
• The Provincial Gateway Program
One of the major goals of the plan is to meet the needs of a growing community in a sustainable
manner while minimizing the negative impact such as the impact to the Agricultural Land
Reserve (ALR). Towards this end, the Township is also currently working on an amendment to
its subdivision and development control bylaw; part of that bylaw includes updated road
standards for arterial, collector and local roads. The road cross sections generally require
narrower vehicle travel lanes and the incorporation of cycling lanes. The transportation plan
also includes a road classification map that identifies road cross sections for each arterial and
collector road within the Township.
Page 46 of 103
D.2
Page 3 . . .
The Township of Langley is updating its cycling routes. The draft bike route plans (see
Attachment B) has been incorporated into the proposed road network classification maps and
the updated road standards in the subdivision and development control bylaw. The Engineering
Division plans to undertake a public consultation process on the draft bike route plans.
Revisions to the Transportation Plan will be required once the bike route plan is adopted.
Similarly, future revisions to neighbourhood and community plans will require revisions to the
road network classification plans.
The existing Highway Classification P-1 Map designates arterial and collector roads within the
Township. The P-1 Map also includes varying right of way widths that correspond to road
cross-sections within the previous subdivision and development control bylaw.
The new Road Classification Maps have incorporated the road network changes from regional,
provincial, and Township plans as well as subdividing the road system into major arterial, minor
arterial, major collector and minor collector roads. The intent of the new classification system is
to more accurately reflect the role and function of a road and to assist in operational decisions
such as the application of traffic calming measures.
The Road Classifications Map 6.2A (see Attachment C) provides the road classifications for the
entire Township. Due to the detail contained within the Willoughby area, a separate Road
Classification Map 6.2B (see Attachment D) has been created. The proposed road cross
sections are shown on Attachments E and F. The major highlights of the plan are:
North East Langley/Glen Valley:

The road network remains unchanged with the exception of defining of some routes as major
arterial, minor arterial, major collector, or minor collector. These definitions were based upon
issues such as connectivity, traffic volumes, truck routes and the adjacent land usage. The
major change was the incorporation of a rail overpass on 232 Street as per the Roberts Bank
Rail Corridor Study.
Gloucester
The road network was modified to become consistent with the Gloucester Neighbourhood Plan.
This included the removal of a proposed overpass on 56 Avenue across Highway 1 and
confirming the future need for an overpass of Highway 1 at 272 Street.
Aldergrove
The road network was modified to reflect the findings of the traffic study undertaken by Ward
Consulting as part of the initial review of the Aldergrove Neighbourhood Plan study currently
underway. The plan proposes a collector ring road system around Aldergrove and four lanes on
Fraser Highway in the future. As part of the Aldergrove visioning and planning process, it is
anticipated that the road network plan in Aldergrove will undergo revisions. Following that
process, the Road Classification Maps included in the Master Transportation Plan may need to
be revised.
South Langley
The road network in south Langley has seen some changes resulting from subdividing road
arterials and collectors into major and minor categories. The major change is the removal of the
24 Avenue and 32 Avenue connections through the Agricultural Land Reserve. The
classification of 16 Avenue remains unchanged as a major arterial route. The classification of
Zero Avenue is a minor collector to reflect its role and function.
Page 47 of 103
D.2
Page 4 . . .
Brookswood
The Brookswood Neighbourhood Plan is in need of a major update and revision. Due to the
lack of information in Brookswood, the road network plan is unchanged with the exception of
subdividing arterial and collector roads into major and minor categories.
Murrayville
The road network in Murrayville is substantially unchanged with the exception of subdividing
arterial and collector roads into major and minor categories.
Fort Langley
The road network in Fort Langley has seen some changes as a result of the closure of the
Albion Ferry. The network has been subdivided into major and minor categories with the
general trend of roads being classified into lower categories.
Milner
The Milner area includes the 64 Avenue rail overpass at Highway 10 and extension. This is
consistent with the previous road network map from 2004 and the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor
Study. The construction of the overpass project is subject to the approval of the Agricultural
Land Commission.
Northwest Langley/Walnut Grove

The road network in Northwest Langley and Walnut Grove has undergone substantial changes
as result of the Golden Ears Bridge, particularly with 200 Street, 199A Street, and 201 Street
now being classified as major arterial routes. Some of the routes under and north of the
structure have been classified into lower categories of roads. The plan shows the future
216 Interchange and the widening of the 208 Street overpass, which is unchanged from
previous plans. The plan now incorporates a proposed transit/HOV tunnel at 202 Street which
is consistent with the Provincial Gateway Program.
Willowbrook
The Willowbrook area has seen little change in the road network classification of the existing
routes. The major change in the incorporation of the overpass structures is included in the
Roberts Bank Rail Corridor Study such as the 204 Street, 196 Street, 192 Street, and
53 Avenue overpass structures. A new road link connecting 203 Street to the Langley Bypass
has been included in the plan.
Willoughby
The Willoughby plan has undergone substantial changes as a result of new Neighbourhood
plans being developed in the past several years. The road network and classification maps
have been modified to be consistent with those plans. In areas where neighbourhood plans
have not been completed, gaps between neighbourhoods have been filled in. The changes
include the connector road to the 216 Interchange, the widening of 208 Street, and the
extension of 202 Street to Highway 1. In addition, 200 Street has been identified as a future
rapid transit corridor.
Page 48 of 103

Page 5 . . .
The draft plan has undergone significant changes over the past several years since its inception
in 2003. Following the public open house held in 2007, there have been minor revisions
resulting from public input and ongoing changes from Neighbourhood plans. The Engineering
Division recommends that Council endorse the Road Classification Maps 6.2A and 6.2B and the
Master Transportation Plan – Road Classifications Map. If adopted, it is the intention of the
Engineering Division to continue updating the maps as needed following any changes resulting
from ongoing neighbourhood and community plans updates as well as any changes resulting
from Provincial or Regional Plans.

REPORT TO
MAYOR AND COUNCIL

FROM: ENGINEERING DIVISION FILE: 5330-23
SUBJECT: FRASER HIGHWAY/248 STREET TRAFFIC SIGNAL
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Council receive the Fraser Highway/248 Street Traffic Signal report for information.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At their regular meeting of June 15, 2009, Council requested that staff provide a report on how
the intersection at 248 Street and Fraser Highway can be improved and the timeline for such
improvements. A number of options were reviewed and considered including:
1. the addition of northbound and southbound left phases only, is the least expensive
option but will actually reduce the overall capacity and performance of the intersection;
significant delays are expected if this option is pursued alone.
2. the construction of northbound and southbound left turn bays would provide an
improvement to the overall capacity of the intersection over the existing condition;
however, this option will have impacts to the surrounding properties and will require
significant capital funds allocated to this intersection.
3. the construction of northbound and southbound left turn bays and the installation of left
turn phases are more costly than option 2 and actually decrease the performance of the
intersection as compared to option 2.
4. the widening of Fraser Highway to four lanes will also improve the intersection
performance.
While the existing configuration has delays to the northbound and southbound traffic in the peak
hour, priority is given to Fraser Highway, thereby minimizing overall delay at the intersection.
The cost of Option 2 is $430,000 plus property and business impact costs: all costs must be
funded from general revenue sources. There are several other locations within the Township
with similar or worse traffic conditions and as a result, the expenditure of these funds should be
considered in the overall context of Township needs and priorities.
PURPOSE:
This report responds to the request for further information and options for improvement for the
traffic signal at Fraser Highway and 248 Street.

FRASER HIGHWAY/248 STREET TRAFFIC SIGNAL
Page 2 . . .
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
Fraser Highway is a major East/West arterial road in the Township of Langley with an average
daily vehicle volume of approximately 25,000 vehicles per day (248 Street carries about 5000
vehicles per day). In situations where the volume on the major road is significantly larger than
the minor road, priority is given to the major road resulting in larger delays to the minor road.
At signalized intersections where a high number of left turning vehicles are present, a left turn
bay may be installed to separate this traffic from the other streams. This allows other
movements to proceed unhindered by waiting left turning vehicles. If the conflicting vehicle
volumes are high enough, a left turn phase may also be installed. Left turn phases are only
installed where the conflicting vehicle volume is high enough as the installation of additional
phases decreases the overall capacity of the intersection.
The Township installed left turn phases in the eastbound and westbound directions on
Fraser Highway at 248 Street. Following this installation, Council has requested staff to look
into further improvements particularly in the northbound and southbound directions.
A number of options were reviewed and considered including:
1. the addition northbound and southbound left phases only
2. the construction of northbound and southbound left turn bays
3. the construction of northbound and southbound left turn bays and the installation of left
turn phases.
The table below provides a summary of the options reviewed in terms of the anticipated
construction costs and performance. The construction costs do not include any land acquisition
or compensation to property owners impacted by options 2 and 3. Also, as the majority of the
construction activity is on the cross street (248 Street), the project would not be eligible for
funding from the TransLink Major Road Network Minor Capital fund or from the Road DCC fund.
As a result, the funding would be required from General Revenue sources.

The installation of northbound and southbound left turn phases only (i.e. a dedicated left turn
arrow) without constructing left turn bays will have significant negative impacts to the overall
intersection performance and will not improve the capacity or operations of this intersection.
The provision of northbound and southbound left turn bays would be quite beneficial (either with
or without left turn phases) and improve the overall performance of the intersection, reduce
vehicle delays, and provide separation between left turning and through moving vehicles.
Options 2, the addition of northbound and southbound left turn lanes without left turn phases
would be the most efficient option.
The construction of left turn bays in the northbound and southbound directions would have
impacts on the surrounding properties. A concept drawing is provided as Attachment A showing
the existing configuration and Attachment B showing the addition of northbound and
southbound left turn bays. In order to accommodate the required turning movements, additional
widening on the northwest and southeast corners is likely required with the construction of
retaining walls due to the grades in the area. The large shoulder area on the southwest corner
would be significantly reduced with little to no parking remaining in this area impacting primarily
the business on this corner.
Not shown on the above table is the long term solution of widening Fraser Highway to 4 lanes.
While this would provide a significant benefit to traffic operations in this location for all
directions, this widening will not take place for some time with other portions of Fraser Highway
being widened prior to this location.
The estimated cost of Option 2 ($430,000 of general revenue funding) does not include land
and property impacts. As a result, this significant investment should be considered in the
context of the overall needs and priorities of the Township. There are numerous other locations
within the Township that are also experiencing similar or worse traffic delays including several
intersections along the 200 Street corridor, the 208 Street corridor, 56 Avenue/232 Street and
other intersections along the Fraser Highway corridor. For these reasons, the Township
Transportation Department does not recommend undertaking any further improvements at this
time. Alternatively, the performance of the intersection will continue to be monitored by staff
and potential upgrades may be brought forward by staff for the consideration of Council in future
years.

2. Heritage Planner’s Report
E. Horricks reported the following:
Historic Places Initiative Funding

In late June, 2009 the Township received a Historic Places Initiative grant of $3,000
dollars from Heritage BC to complete four Statements of Significance. The deadline
for completion of these statements is December 31, 2009.
Four sites have been identified for which historic documentation would be timely
including, the Porter’s General Store in Murrayville and the Willoughby Methodist
(later United) Church, Tom and Dorothy Campbell Residence and David Jones
Residence located in Willoughby.
Properties to be added to the Community Heritage Register

The Township has received requests from the owners of the Willoughby Methodist
(later United) Church, the Tom and Dorothy Campbell Residence and the owner of
the David Jones Residence that their properties be added to the Township’s
Community Heritage Register.
All three buildings are earmarked for retention and restoration as part of a Quadra
Homes Townhouse Development proposal for 208 Street in Willoughby. Adding
these properties to the Community Heritage Register in advance of a Heritage
Revitalization Agreement, will allow the Township to take advantage of the historic
places initiative funding by preparing Statements of Significance for each of the sites
by the grant deadline of December 31, 2009.
COUNCIL
Moved by A. Johnson,
Seconded by F. Pepin,
Recommendation that Council authorize placing the Willoughby Methodist (later
United) Church, the Tom and Dorothy Campbell Residence and the David Jones
Residence on the Township’s Community Heritage Register as requested by the
owners.

1. Capital Projects Updates – McLeod Athletic Park / Willoughby Community

Park
The Willoughby Community Park water park and playground area deficiencies
have been repaired and the landscaping work will be completed shortly.
The sand, soccer and baseball fields have been assumed by Parks Operations
and the pedestrian lighting will be completed this fall.
A number of improvement contracts are underway at McLeod Athletic Park. The

track resurfacing work was completed over summer and most of the line painting
has been completed. The track has re-opened to the public.
A new pole vault facility has been constructed. A contract has been entered into for
the installation of a six feet high chain link perimeter fence that will surround the
stadium. Bleacher seating will be installed this fall at the Grandstand facility and it
is expected to be completed in time for the November high school football
championships. Both an electronic score board and sound system have been
installed.
2. Advertising in Municipal Parks and Facilities
B. Herman introduced the 2009 fall work plan initiative to develop an advertising
policy for municipal parks and facilities Staff led a philosophical discussion
amongst Advisory Committee members to gain insight into the relative comfort
levels of our members regarding the potential for the presence of advertising in
Township parks and recreation facilities. Staff are looking for recommendations
from members of the committee to enable them to put together a policy that will be
sent to Council for their consideration.
Discussion ensued whether the goal of such advertising is to generate revenue for
the Township or to provide voluntary community organizations with an additional
method to raise funds to offset participant costs.
Page 84 of 103
F.2
September 9, 2009
The following were the suggestions put forward by the committee:
• Support for Local Community Organizations

The Township advertisement policy should provide voluntary organizations
opportunities to sell advertising and retain at least a portion of the revenues.
• Setting Parameters for Advertising

In the current economic times it is difficult to get corporate sponsors, however,
the Township should set very clear parameters so that the voluntary
organizations and advertisers do not dictate terms.
• Family Oriented Advertisement

Members were in agreement that advertising should be family oriented and the
Township should have control over it.
• Review Period
The Advertising Policy should be reviewed every two years.
• Revenues
The policy should include different levels of advertising and the surplus amount
from advertising in municipal parks and facilities should be retained by the
Recreation, Culture, and Parks Division and be used to offset operational costs
of maintaining parks and facilities.
• Naming Rights
If a corporation donates money towards capital infrastructure (e.g. scoreboard,
etc.) they should be allowed advertising rights up to five years to recognize
their contributions by agreement.
Members would like to know if there are stats available from other municipalities
regarding advertising.
If Committee members have any more suggestions regarding advertising in

municipal parks and facilities, they should email it to B. Herman
bherman@tol.bc.ca.
.
B. Herman will put together a draft policy later this year or early next year.
3. Community Storage in Municipal Parks and Facilities
D. Leavers reported that when parks are designed there is some consideration for
storage for community groups. However, in recent years the demand for storage
at the parks has exceeded the infrastructure provided.
Committee would like to see a uniform approach In our parks and facilities
regarding the provision of storage for community groups. For example, the
increased use of cargo containers in parks was cited as less than ideal approach
to meeting this need.
Page 85 of 103
F.2
September 9, 2009
The members suggested the following:
• Storage containers should be consistent in building type and appearance.

Aldergrove Planning Committee Minutes -2-
C. PRESENTATIONS
1. Preliminary Design Concepts, Aldergrove Core Planning Program
Joaquin Karakas of HB Lanarc, provided an update on the Aldergrove Core Planning

Program. Copies of the draft Concept Options Summary Report dated
September 10, 2009 were distributed on table. He outlined key differences between
the two concepts as outlined on page 8 of the report.
J. Chu noted that comments were received from committee members since the
previous committee meeting and forwarded to J. Karakas for incorporation into the
report.
Discussion ensued and comments provided as follows:
• Section 2, page 7 – a set of guiding objectives for this process were

identified, premised on focusing on downtown Aldergrove as the heart of the
greater Aldergrove community, creating more walkability, enhancing overall
sustainability of not only the downtown area but the community as a whole.
The focus is placed on new residential and commercial growth in the core to
further a number of Township sustainability initiatives and provide for more
efficient land use.
• Mixed use development was introduced and expansion of residential use
featuring low and medium density townhouses, stacked townhouses and
apartments. Slight reduction in extent of commercial use (amount of land
area dedicated to commercial).
• Both concepts propose enhancements to streetscapes and pedestrian routes
through the downtown area.
• Enhanced arts, culture and civic uses in the downtown area are proposed.
Both concepts emphasize greenspace as a focal point for these activities.
• Act on ecological restoration of Bertrand Creek into smaller parks and plazas
at key locations; emphasize Aldergrove’s roots and history in agricultural
farming.
• Dedicate public space for farmers market, community gardens and other
ways to celebrate Aldergrove’s agricultural history.
• An objective is to slow down and discourage traffic coming through the
downtown area along Fraser Highway.
• If an east-west alignment of 16 Avenue is possible when Abbotsford has
resolved land issues, pressure may be relieved on Fraser Highway (one
example in diverting interregional traffic).
• Streets can be more pedestrian-friendly if treated correctly as illustrated in
the example of “shared” streets like those found on Granville Island.
• Explore opportunities to focus new growth; one key aspect is that amenities
would be leveraged against new development.
• Examples of “woonerf” – small neighbourhood serving street with traffic
calming measures and special design treatments for road space shared by
pedestrians, cyclists and slow moving vehicles were discussed (page 22).
An example of this concept is Selkirk Village in Victoria.
Page 92 of 103
F.3
September 17, 2009
C. PRESENTATIONS
• Scale and treatment of streets is achievable through land use designations

and design guidelines. White Rock has some good examples of successful
street wall development (mid-rise six to eight storey mixed use buildings off
of Johnson and Oxford Streets).
Discussion took place regarding commercial space in the downtown area. It was
noted that currently Aldergrove has about 340,000 sq.ft. of commercial space. One
of the design objectives is to reduce the size of the commercial footprint to provide
focus for more viable businesses and to render a smaller, urban look to the
downtown area. Concept A would reduce the total commercial space by
approximately 100,000 sq.ft. to 217,000 sq.ft. as opposed to Concept B that
proposes commercial space of 275,000 sq.ft.
J. Karakas responded that the key issues were addressed by placing emphasis on
residential development in the downtown core to attract people to live in the
community; both concepts take the approach of reducing commercial space, but not
removing it altogether. He added that people are less likely to buy a condominium
when they have to get in their vehicles to pick up milk, etc.
The comment was made that unless upzoning, improved densities and property
values occur in Aldergrove, there will not be an improvement in commercial viability.
It is time to plan and look to the future now during the economic downturn and
develop in a phased approach to improve values and returns. Exploring other
methods to encourage development has been discussed such as creating economic
zones. J. Karakas echoed these comments saying that a long-term vision is
required so that development happening in the short term does not preclude long
term development.
The concern was raised of providing enough affordable housing for young families
and first time home buyers.
J. Karakas noted that both concepts try to address this issue, but particularly
Concept A does both in terms of offering a mix of affordable townhouses to
apartment towers. He commented that there is no evidence to date that indicates
that six-storey wood buildings are feasible and more cost-effective than concrete.
He added that the ideal would be to allow and create a land use designation allowing
six storey wood buildings to ensure flexibility. He added that supportive or social
housing are not under consideration at this time, but that the Committee could make
a policy recommendation in the final report.
B. Bailey commented that Abbotsford had a unique approach in that every tenth lot
had to be an AHOP (Affordable Homeownership Opportunity Program) style building
to provide a mixed blend for different economic stratas. J. Karakas responded that
there are inclusionary mechanisms available to ensure a percentage of affordable
housing. He added that Langford is opting for every tenth unit being developed to
be at an affordability rate based on a complex formula.
The suggestion was made to include the desire for a mixed approach to housing
( i.e. provide for affordable housing) as a policy recommendation based on the
preferred concept.

C. PRESENTATIONS
A. Robinson referenced a documentary illustrating His Royal Majesty Prince

Charles’s marketing concept promoting development of mixed-use housing.
Examples of the “Quartiers” concept may be found in the Bosa development of

Newport Village in Port Moody which features mixed-use townhouses, four storey
apartment buildings, and internal retail streets oriented away from main roads.
S. Janda commented that his preference was Concept A – the “Quartiers”, as the
Aldergrove Mall in the north-eastern section of the core area would see more
exposure and traffic.
COUNCIL
Moved by B. Bailey,
Seconded by A. McDougall,
That the Aldergrove Planning Committee recommends that Council:
1. Receive the draft Aldergrove Planning Program - Concept Options Summary

Report for information; and
2. That Council authorize staff to schedule a public open house to obtain

2. Aldergrove Athletic Park Concept Plan
J. Marvel, Manager of Recreation Facilities and Services, was in attendance and

provided a brief history of the Aldergrove Athletic Park which was built in 1985. He
continued to describe the new Aldergrove Athletic Park Concept Plan which was
endorsed by Council on June 22, 2009 and identifies new facilities such as a
mountain bike park, batting cage, picnic shelter, relocation of children’s play areas,
and additional parking. He continued that funding has been applied for through the
Federal government. He also noted that clearing of wooded area will commence
shortly and that Douglas Fir Trees may be retained. Funding for clearing the
wooded area has been provided by the Rotary Club and the Township.
Mr. Marvel commented that a new fitness area will be developed in the Kinsmen
Aldergrove Community Centre.
Councillor Fox noted that this project is unique in that it is community-driven and
added that the Rotary and Elks clubs are heavily involved in terms of providing
financial support as well as in-kind donations of time, effort and machinery.
