It seems that Bing Thom, who is designing the new city centre, has identified several old lakes that could still exist given the aqua system still in place that used to feed them. His plan is to regenerate these lakes in the new city centre build-out. That certainly is a highly commendable move and I'd love to see it happen.
I often walk around what used to be called Whalley at night and have done for years, I feel perfectly safe. Both my daughters are shortly moving into the Agenda development in Urban Village and I have no problem at all with that. They are flight attendants and so are several of their friends who are also moving in and none of them have any problems, so maybe the "Whalley" tag is not the same now as it used to be. Lots of their friends, girls in their 20's, from SFU Surrey see no problems either. Best test ground on the planet, 20-year old females. If they don't feel threatened, who the heck can.
I see that there are moves afoot to start the city core build-out shortly, so with Mayor Watts at the helm I think we're going to see some positive things happeneing. Hope so because as a long term Surrey resident I believe this city has a huge future.
