Truck Parking Open House
Have Your Say!
Surrey Truck Parking Task Force
Presenting Options Phase – Engagement begins Sept 28
Open House and Online Survey
The supply of authorized truck parking facilities in the City of Surrey has been a long-standing issue. Surrey’s Truck Parking Task Force is working to develop creative options to increase supply to better meet the needs of truck operators and the community. To generate practical and effective solutions by early 2020, getting the input of a wide range of local truckers and residents throughout the process is key.
Now in Step 4 of a five-step process, staff will present and solicit public input on draft options under consideration for Surrey’s Trucking Parking Strategy. Attend the information meeting to learn more and share your input:
- Saturday, September 28 from 11:00am to 2:00pm at Surrey City Hall, Atrium (13450 104 Street, Surrey).
To learn more about the issues, visit the project page. Can’t make the meeting? Launch of the online survey and materials presented at the open house will be available on the webpage beginning September 30 through to October 21.

Fraser Heights Wireless Poles Public Consultation
Following is a public notification from Rogers Communications Inc. about their proposal to replace two light poles with 15 metres light pole/antennas.
Purpose of the Notice
This notification package is an invitation to the public to provide comments regarding two proposed light pole replacements / wireless communication facilities to be located near the intersection of 157 Street and 110 Avenue in Surrey, BC at the coordinates: Pole 1: 49.202466° N, 122.786783° W, Pole 2: 49.202596° N, 122.786922° W
Introduction
Rogers Communications Inc. (“Rogers”) strives to improve coverage and network quality to remain the leading wireless provider in Canada. Rogers has become aware of the need to improve services in areas of Surrey. The proposed location will achieve the necessary coverage objectives for our network and improve services to the surrounding community.
Rogers is proposing a wireless installation which consists of two light pole replacements with taller light poles inclusive of wireless equipment on the top of the pole with the existing light fixture attached at the same height. Once completed the antenna systems will measure 15.0 metres in height. Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), formerly Industry Canada, is responsible for the approval of this antenna system and requires Rogers to consult with the nearby public and local municipality.
The antenna systems will be located here:
Thefts in Fraser Heights
The Fraser Heights Community Association will be having a special general meeting this coming Tuesday.
Date: Tuesday, July 9 2018
Time: 7:00 PM
Place: Fraser Heights Recreation Center, Multi-purpose room #3
Agenda (subject to change):
Thieves are at work in our community!
There have been a significant number of thefts from vehicles in Fraser Heights recently. From June 1 – 17 alone, there were 16 reported thefts from vehicles in Fraser Heights. Sergeant Mike Spencer of the RCMP (our Community Association Liason Officer) will be attending this meeting to speak on this issue.
Please send any questions that may require research in advance to directors@fhca.ca so that they can be addressed at the meeting.
See you at the meeting!
Please let your neighbours who might not already be members of the association know about the meeting. All residents of Fraser Heights are welcome.
Increase in theft, and theft from auto
Response from Sgt Mike Spencer from the RCMP on theft from auto:
Hi Ed,
Thanks for your email. I am aware of the recent spike in the TFA (Theft From Auto) files that have occurred in the Fraser Heights area. Over the past 7 days there have been 7 reported incidents – although 5 of those incidents happened on the same date.
I can also tell you the following:
- 6 of the 7 incidents were involving vehicles that had been left insecure (not locked).
- the one locked vehicle had TWO windows smashed (particularly odd that it was two if the motive was to simply commit a TFA) and the only thing stolen from this vehicle was the garage door opener.
- of the 6 vehicles left unlocked, 5 of them either had nothing stolen, or loose change (coins) stolen from the car.
- the 6th vehicle had a power tool stolen from it.
- video surveillance was obtained from 3 different victims
- video showed that at least two subjects, who appeared to be male, were walking through these neighbourhoods checking vehicle door handles on the street and in driveways.
- video showed that whenever the suspect(s) came across a locked vehicle, they peered into the car through the window, and then moved on to the next vehicle / driveway.
- although much of the video was of very high quality, the darkness outside did not allow for a clear image of the suspect’s face, making it virtually impossible to identify him/her/them.
