Surrey Sidewalk Race Ahead of Election | Vancouver News

Surrey’s sidewalk race heats up as a mayoral candidate vows to build 50 km of new sidewalks — a bold move sparking debate with the current mayor, who claims 85.6 km have already been completed, including 15 km this year alone. With a massive 558 km deficit looming and decades of work ahead, the city is focusing on high-need zones like schools and transit hubs while newer developments get sidewalks built in from day one. But tensions rise over multi-use paths versus dedicated sidewalks — one candidate calls them unsafe, pushing for safer, separate pedestrian routes. The stakes? Pedestrian safety, accessibility, and whether Surrey can finally close its long-standing infrastructure gap. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
