TransLink is doing a comprehensive study of transit options in Surrey called the Surrey Rapid Transit Study. Phase 1 has been completed and phase 2 is underway with public meetings scheduled for early 2012.
As reported in the last Western Newsletter of Transport Action, Surrey has put together a vision of LRT on its website.
