Hello Strong Towns Langley members! Here's a summary of the upcoming Township Council meeting on *Monday, June 15, 2026*, focusing on items relevant to building a financially resilient and people-centred community. Council will be addressing several significant infrastructure and fiscal matters. The **2025 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements** will be received and accepted, providing transparency on the Township's financial position. Several capital requests are on the agenda for future road improvements, including directing staff to include funding for detailed designs of a **traffic signal at Fraser Highway and 268 Street** ($75,000) and **short-term improvements on 16 Avenue** ($225,000) in the 2027-2031 Financial Plan. Council is also asked to authorize $3,050,000 for **80 Avenue roadworks** (20100-20300 block), funded by Development Cost Charges, Capital Projects Reserve, and the Community Works Fund. Regarding infrastructure and capital funding, significant **capital budget transfers** are proposed, totalling over $3.4 million in Roads Development Cost Charges and nearly $470,000 in Capital Projects Reserve funds. These funds are allocated for TransLink cost sharing and various **bridge rehabilitation projects**, including amounts redirected from existing **Fraser Highway road widening projects**. Additionally, $3.5 million in TransLink funding is proposed for additional paving on the Major Road Network at no cost to the Township. An application for $340,000 of funding towards the **Upper Nicomekl River Floodplain Mapping project** is also on the agenda, which is important for long-term community resilience. In terms of development, housing, and zoning, Council will consider a **Heritage Alteration Permit Application** at 21528 Old Yale Road to facilitate a small-scale multi-unit housing development. This involves variances to setbacks and lot coverage, and requires securing **tree retention, replacement, and road/utility upgrades on Old Yale Road**. For final adoption, a new **Tenant Protection Bylaw** (Bylaw No. 6214) is proposed to require tenant protection during residential rental redevelopment, alongside an amendment to the Official Community Plan to create a Tenant Protection Development Permit Area. Final readings are also sought for a **Housing Agreement** (Bylaw No. 6222) to secure rental and affordable units at 7883 - 199 Street, and a rezoning to accommodate approximately **46 townhouse units** at 7860 – 197 Street (Bylaw No. 6001). A new motion directs staff to prepare a policy regarding **single-exit stairwell residential buildings**, evaluating implications for public safety, emergency response, and alignment with BC Building Code provisions. Active transportation, traffic calming, and public spaces are also prominent. A motion directs staff to install **20 km/h advisory speed tabs** (instead of 30 km/h) on all approaches to the **Murrayville Five Corners Roundabout** as a specific traffic calming measure. Another motion proposes amending the **Neighbourhood Traffic Calming Policy** to include pedestrian routes to schools or parks where documented safety concerns exist. Additionally, a review of **e-bike safety, regulation, and enforcement** within the Township is proposed. For green space, Council will consider endorsing the **Smith Passive Park Concept Plan**, referring improvements to the 2027-2031 Capital Budget process. Several development items also include requirements for **tree protection, streamside protection and enhancement areas, and Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) landscape buffers**. Finally, a motion seeks staff recommendations on enforcement and cost recovery options related to intentional **damage to municipal traffic infrastructure**, such as highway markings and traffic control devices.
