Light Rail in Langley
Last summer, I released my draft paper on bringing light rail to Langley, with a focus on the 200th Street corridor. In the months since that release, I have continued to dialogue with experts and to do my own research on the various forms of light rail.
Today, I presented my thoughts on the possibilities to VALTAC, a transportation advocacy group that is especially interested in the old Interurban line that runs through the south Fraser region. It was a good meeting, and I was able to show how I think the 200th line (which would better serve local Langley transportation patterns) could tie into the Interurban (which, as you can tell by the name, is a regional service).
Here is the slideshow of my presentation:
Slide 22 is the dream--the "Jordan has all the money in the world for streetcar lines, and Langley is pretty much built out (i.e., it's 2040) option."
