Title
Public Consultation for Willoughby Arterial Road
Completion Policy
9:55pm approximately
Recommended Action
Whereas an updated major road funding model for 208 Street, other than only partially completed major arterial roads in Willoughby, and (potentially) the undeveloped areas of Brookswood/Fernridge, is a strategic priority of Langley Township Council;
Whereas for the Township of Langley to complete needed gaps in road and sidewalk infrastructure, the lack of a development-based funding source of the necessary land acquisition cost remains, as of yet, unsolved; and
Whereas the Report to Mayor and Council 19-113 dated July 8, 2019, reviewing the proposed Willoughby Arterial Road Completion Amenity Policy outlined within the Memo to Council dated April 8, 2019, has been received and considered by Council;
Therefore be it resolved that staff be directed to:
1. Draft and bring forward to Council for consideration a Willoughby Arterial Road Completion Amenity Policy document based on the staff analysis within the Report to Mayor and Council 19-113 dated
July 8, 2019, with direction to lower the estimated per acre amenity fee overall by removing the following sections of arterial roads to be completed within the proposed amenity policy:
a. 200 Street from 72 to 80 Avenue (-$9.02M);
b. 200 Street from 66 to 68 Avenue (-$4.29M);
c. 80 Avenue from 212 to 216 Street (-$1.76M); and
d. 212 Street Connector from 80 Avenue to the
Smith Neighbourhood Plan boundary (-$5.83M);
2. Engage with the development industry and community at-large regarding a Willoughby Arterial Road Completion Amenity Policy as soon as practical, but before or simultaneously with the commencement of the 2020 budget process.
