True. King George doesn't need more lanes - Surrey needs more travel options than cars. Transit is slowly getting better (Skytrain down Fraser Hwy will be a big improvement). Now what's needed are some wider sidewalks on busier streets and somewhere for bikes and other micro mobility.
Thankfully the main north - south streets are better than they used to be. Both 128th and 132nd used to switch back and forth between between 2 and 4 lanes. 140th, 144th and 148th have gaps and don't cover the whole distance from Hwy 10 to 108th Ave (although they do provide some relief to King George).
Most of what I've been hearing has been east - west avenues finally getting some badly needed work done. Anything to make the roads more grid-like will take some demand off King George. Also if they ever get around to building Skytrain on King George between Surrey Central and Newton...
