I love it - we went on topic for 2 seconds but thanks for dragging us back from the main theme! |
...and we went off-topic again. Can we seriously discuss the subject on the thread title, and not about commuter rail in this thread? It's called "Rapid Transit" for a reason.

The revitalization of Newton was centred around LRT. Now that it is effectively cancelled, the BIA is trying to figure out what will happen next. I think the "revitalizations" should go ahead, such as expanding the library. You don't need LRT for that.
Doug Elford will be trying to get BRT for the area and the rest of Surrey, which Translink is also supportive of.

White Rock/South Surrey deserve some attention for rapid transit. It doesn't even have to be rail-based. I know Newton needs a rebuild, but it's just cringeworthy that it has to be the
one and only biggest town center in Surrey. The BIA in Newton has no interest for the rest of SoF, and it's taking a regionalist (although boneheaded) approach.
