With the arrival of SkyTrain to Downtown Langley in 2028, Langley has updated the City’s Official Community Plan and is currently working on updating the Zoning Bylaw to create a Transit Oriented Development community and leverage the SkyTrain for economic growth and prosperity. Langley is seeking an architect to sit on this task group. The mandate of the EDTG includes:
- Work with KPU to develop strategies and initiatives that will support KPU 2050 Master Plan.
- Develop strategies and partnership with KPU, businesses, entrepreneurs and others to realize the vision for the Innovation Boulevard on Glover Road that encourages student housing, tech and research businesses, media and film industries, start-ups, and maker spaces.
- Develop strategies and partnership with land owners and developers to encourage the development industry to invest in building Transit Oriented Development with high density residential and mixed uses around the 196 Street and 203 Street SkyTrain stations and streets immediately along and adjacent the guideway alignment such as Industrial Avenue, Fraser Highway and 203 Street.
- Develop strategies and partnership with government agencies, community groups and entrepreneurs to secure capital funding for an iconic destination arts and cultural facility.
The EDTG normally meets once per month for a couple of hours. Interested individuals can apply by contacting Francis Cheung at fcheung@langleycity.ca.
