Mayor Brenda Locke Directs $32 Million in Municipal Infrastructure Capital for Transit Hub Safety

SURREY, B.C. — Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke and members of the Surrey City Council approved a $32 million capital infrastructure package on Monday, authorizing the construction of two integrated municipal community safety and active-transportation hubs along the Fraser Highway corridor in support of the ongoing Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension.

The facilities, scheduled for completion in late 2026 in Fleetwood and Clayton, will house co-located municipal by-law enforcement teams, community policing liaison officers, emergency medical first-responder bays, and secure 300-space multi-modal bicycle and park-and-ride commuter lots.

Coordinated Public Transit and Neighborhood Safety Mayor Locke emphasized that as major rapid transit infrastructure advances through Surrey, proactive municipal investments are necessary to ensure that new SkyTrain stations remain safe, well-lit, and accessible for transit riders, seniors, and local businesses.

"The Surrey-Langley SkyTrain is a transformational transit project for our rapidly growing city," Mayor Locke said at City Hall. "By building these modern community safety hubs directly adjacent to future transit stations, we are ensuring strong public safety presence, seamless pedestrian connectivity, and vital neighborhood amenities as new commercial and residential density develops."

Progress on the Surrey-Langley SkyTrain Corridor Transportation Investment Corporation (TIC) and provincial contractors have achieved major guideway foundation milestones along Fraser Highway, with utility relocations and elevated column construction progressing on schedule.

Premier David Eby previously noted that the 16-kilometer SkyTrain expansion will connect Surrey City Centre to Langley City Centre in under 22 minutes, eliminating thousands of daily vehicle trips from congested regional arteries.

Surrey Board of Trade and local merchant associations commended the municipal capital investment, pointing to enhanced safety for evening commuters and accelerated economic revitalization throughout Fleetwood and Clayton.
