Sapperton/United Blvd. Extension

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Sapperton/United Boulevard Extension Transportation Planning Process. The goal was to work together with residents and businesses of New Westminster and Coquitlam to identify a solution that would improve the connection between United Boulevard and Brunette Avenue, support the transportation network, and enhance and benefit the local community.

From March 12 to May 19, 2011, we had significant discussion and consultation with the community. However, TransLink has not found a solution that is agreeable to the community. TransLink will therefore not be requesting an endorsement of a UBE concept from the cities of New Westminster and Coquitlam. Without support from the cities, the project will not proceed. Importantly, the community identified many enhancements to improve their neighbourhoods, and these measures will be shared with the City of New Westminster for its consideration.

You can learn more in the presentation that Sany Zein, TransLink's Director of Roads, delivered on May 19 or by reading the news release that was issued.

Thanks again for participating in this process.
