Come to a public consultation workshop about the Newton Town Centre area next Wednesday, Apr. 8!

The City of Surrey and TransLink are inviting you to join in as they start the process of preparing a transit-oriented land use, urban design and transportation plan for the Newton Town Centre area.

At the workshop, you can meet the project team, learn how the planning process will take place, and provide input into the plan at an early stage.
