Transit-Oriented Areas Designated Around SkyTrain Stations and Bus Exchanges

On June 10, fifteen "Transit-Oriented Areas" (TOAs) were designated in Surrey, as required by the Provincial government. TOAs are areas within 800 metres of a SkyTrain station and within 400 metres of a bus exchange where higher density development standards apply. The purpose of TOAs is to increase the supply of housing near transit. This will result in vibrant, mixed-use neighbourhoods where housing is concentrated near transit and amenities. Four Transit-Oriented Areas are found within City Centre which will impact how we plan the area.
