It is home to countless wildlife species and is an oasis for the community. The forested area is used by numerous people who enjoy its system of walking trails, and the park area is host to an abundance of social gatherings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.surrey.ca\/culture-recreation\/2082.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Hawthorne Park<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The City of Surrey is planning to build a two lane road, with an additional connecting road, through the south end of Hawthorne Park. The road will start on the west side and exit on the east side. There will also be a southbound two lane road connecting the main road to 104th Avenue.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.surrey.ca\/city-services\/22562.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Project Map<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Construction was originally scheduled for January 2018, but has now been moved up to late August 2017. This road is being constructed to handle the traffic that will be rerouted from 104th Avenue due to the proposed LRT.<\/p>\n<p>Wildlife living in the forest will be devastated and several of the well-used walking trails will be replaced with two lane roads. No longer will we be able to watch the red-tail hawks fly overhead or listen to the barred owl at night. The roads will go right through their habitats.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/1drv.ms\/b\/s!AnDoBj_5Bo59a7Y9DwfTRMH2siA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Print out the petition and hand it out!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We need to preserve this forest for our community, for future generations, and for the wildlife living there who have no voice to speak for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Please stand with the community and sign this petition.<\/p>\n<p>Contact me if you want to join our campaign team &#8211; stevengpettigrew@gmail.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"row mbxxl\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a risk that Hawthorne Park &#8211; at the intersection of 104 Ave and 144 St &#8211; will be lost if 105 Ave is expanded for vehicle traffic to offset the loss of 104 Ave when the light rail &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhca.ca\/?p=922\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fhca.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/922"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fhca.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fhca.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fhca.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fhca.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=922"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.fhca.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/922\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":923,"href":"https:\/\/www.fhca.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/922\/revisions\/923"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fhca.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fhca.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=922"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fhca.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
