Hello Strong Towns Langley members! Here's a look at the upcoming Council meeting on **Monday, April 27, 2026**, highlighting items that might be of particular interest to our group. One significant item is the conceptual design endorsement for **Active Transportation Upgrades on 40 Avenue between 204 Street and 216 Street**. This project includes a *multi-use pathway* on the south side and will be referred to the 2027-2031 Capital Budget process for detailed design, aligning with our interest in pedestrian and cycling infrastructure and road improvements. Additionally, a rezoning application for an industrial warehouse at 26090 – 30A Avenue includes prerequisites for *road dedications, widenings, and traffic improvements* on 29 Avenue and 30A Avenue, as well as securing *utility upgrades and extensions*, fitting into our road widening, infrastructure, and significant projects focus. Several items touch on zoning, community planning, and housing. Council will consider a delegation requesting the designation of Highpoint as a *gated community*. Final reading is set for bylaws establishing a *Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing (SSMUH) Development Permit Area*, including new form and character guidelines. There are also first, second, and third readings for a new *Tenant Protection Bylaw*, which includes an amendment to the Official Community Plan by adding a Tenant Protection Development Permit Area. Regarding fiscal matters and green spaces, the agenda includes first, second, and third readings for the *2026 Langley Annual Rates and Tax Collection Bylaw*, which levies rates for various municipal services. Council will also approve 2026 Capital Improvement Grants, and finalize amendments to the *Fees and Charges Bylaw* for schedules covering services like transportation, waterworks, sewer, and stormwater. Development Permit applications include conditions for *Streamside Protection and Enhancement Areas* and *tree management plans*, aligning with our interest in tree protection and green space. Furthermore, members may be interested in informational memos regarding parking management in Milner Heights and on 27A Avenue, an update on the Fort Langley Cenotaph rehabilitation, and water restrictions for the upcoming season.
