Dear Ed McIntosh (President)

As per your concern with speed at 16300 block of 104 avenue and 164th street @ 108th Ave, 4 – way stop; Members with Surrey RCMP’s Traffic Community Response Unit (TCRU) attended and conducted enforcement in both locations of concern on separate days at various times. TCRU, also deployed a Black CAT Radar to verify and assess speeds at both locations. Data from the 16300 block of 104 avenue showed that 29.2 % of vehicles had travelled over the posted 50 km/hr speed limit, which resulted in a “Medium” enforcement rating. Members attended on 4 separate occasions and issued 11 violation tickets for speed. (Surrey RCMP File #2023-36107 Refers)

Data from 164 th street @ 108 th avenue-4 way stop had a “Low” enforcement rating for speed, with only 5.1% of vehicles had travelled above the 50 km/hr posted speed limit. However, members attended the location on 4 separate occasions and issued various violation tickets for Disobey stop sign and speed, no insurance, window tint etc. (Surrey RCMP file#2023-36119 Refers).

TCRU will re-visit this location in the future when resources should become available and time permits.

Letter from RCMP

Hello,

I want to introduce myself as the new District 2 (Guildford) Liaison Officer (10395 148th st, Surrey) with the Surrey RCMP. As a Filipino, I wanted to reach out to my community leaders and possibly hold a short meeting where we can discuss the issues and problems we are having specific to our community. I also wanted to be a point of contact who the community can reach out to should they want to speak to an officer but are having a difficult time with explaining the issues and need someone who speaks the language (Tagalog). I hope to hear from you soon.

Regards,

Constable D. COMIA
