The city is taking public feedback on a major road improvement project in the North Delta.

To be completed in two phases, the project along 96th Avenue, between 114th and 120th streets, includes a new three-meter-wide asphalt multi-use path on both sides of the road, a new grassy boulevard on the south side with trees of streets that separate the multi-use path from the roadway, parking pockets, new street lighting and roadway rehabilitation with new left turn lanes at the intersection of 96th Avenue and 116th Street.

Across 120th Street, the City of Surrey has issued a request for proposals from data collection and aggregation companies to provide traffic data that measures and reports congestion on the road network of Surrey.

Although “congestion” can be a nebulous term that is perceived differently by different groups, some key indicators are normally associated with the term, including travel speeds, which are also measured in travel times, waiting lengths and in traffic volumes, according to the Surrey office. request for offers.

The city also explains that the initiative aligns with Surrey’s commitment to improving traffic flow, increasing safety and reducing travel times for all road users.
