Cloverdale would be too close to Langley and far out, not sure what other sites are available.

I wonder if City of Surrey would ever build something by Scott Road, like an actually stadium !

Last year I believe there were a couple of interested parties talking about building stadiums in Surrey. Haven't heard boo about it since then though.

I thought it would be more in lines of something like the Abbotsford Centre.

Is there demand for a stadium that holds just over 7000 people (I have no idea)? The PNE Forum holds just over 5000 people and it seems to be used mostly for trade shows. Maybe a convention centre would be a better idea.

They should build a stadium big enough for the Lions in downtown Surrey Surrey

The only thing is that no one cares about the Lions.

Or road infrastructure. 88th can't handle the traffic increase at all and Bear Creek Park is a giant block with very little road capacity around it especially east/west where from 88th south, you don't have another east-west corridor until 74th. That's 14 Surrey blocks or just over 28 Vancouver blocks.

Only way this would ever work is if they did actually do the LRT and then finally punched through 84th Avenue.

The Forum does hold B-list concerts and performances from time to time. I don't think you can do that with a show hall.

It's not the primary use though. Which would Surrey use more - a stadium or a convention centre (McCallum isn't likely to build both).

Depends on what everybody wants for Bear Creek - if residents decide that the versatility of a stadium is worth the additional cost, then by all means.

IMO, the 88th corridor should be much more dense, especially around the Bear Creek Park areas.

There are rumblings of a 4-story mixed use project being proposed soon up the road at 132nd Street and 88th. I would love to see that get built and help revitalize the area with larger sidewalks and more street oriented retail and homes.

Currently we just keep seeing massive single family homes sprout up along 88th.

An update as I was going through existing applications, the development (doesn't have it's own page yet) that was discussed a few years ago at the form Knight and Day restaurant location beside CRA (KGB just before 96th) is still proceeding forward.

Evidently the detailed drawings were submitted to Surrey Planning just yesterday and they've already held scoping meetings. So hopefully we hear more about this project which is in the Innovation Boulevard area soon.

This is the project and where it is, screenshot from the planning report Oct 1, 2018:

Thanks for the new rendering. Although it would be nice to see developers branch-out more in their architect choices, Chris Dikeakos consistently churns-out designs for suburban towers that are better than what gets built in most North American downtowns.

Is there a possibility that more towers could be built directly into surrey central shopping mall for example Pacific Centre with TD Tower, 4 Seasons Hotel, 701 W Georgia, and Canaccord Place.

Thank you for sharing the update. Yes this tower was mentioned a long time ago along with an old render, but it now looks like it is going ahead with a similar/revamped design. Exciting times for Delta.

[osirisboy]

That looks good! Would have liked more commercial space but it seems to meet the street nicely

[SpongeG]

too bad it is in the dumpiest part of Scott road
