Join the South Fraser Action Network for a townhall meeting focusing on the effects of the South Fraser Perimeter Road.

Have Concerns? Come Have Your Say!
All of Delta's elected officials have been invited. Media will be present. They need to hear your opinion.

IT IS NOT A DONE DEAL. THIS ROAD CAN BE STOPPED.

Saturday, January 16, 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Sundance Banquet Hall, 6574 Ladner Trunk Rd, Delta (served by the C76 and C87 buses)

Speakers include:
Harold Steves, co-founder of the Agricultural Land Reserve and the Farmland Defence League.
Stephen Rees, transportation economist and planner (ret.), blogger.
Eric Doherty, transportation planning consultant
Alexandria Mitchell, high school student and Copenhagen Climate Change Conference delegate.
Graeme Drew will be moderating.

Topics will include the social, environmental and economic impacts of the road, as well as actions you can take to help save Delta from the SFPR.

Even if you live outside Delta or Surrey this $1.1 billion road impacts you - your air quality, your environment, your climate and your tax dollars. Let's work together for better solutions for our region!

For more information call Anita den Dikken at 604 948 0139.

I do not know if this is relevant, but the attached article describes four significant circumstances where enlightened cities actually removed freeways and the remarkable effect this had on the community. Are we perhaps going the in the wrong direction with project? How will it benefit or shape our community in the next 20 years?
