We are creating a new vision for the future of Scott Road and 72 Avenue

In Spring 2022 the City initiated a visioning study to better understand the area and how we can plan for growth over the next 30 years. With the introduction of RapidBus and development plans on the west side of Scott Road in Delta, change is going to happen along this corridor.

The visioning study will:

  • develop a long term vision
  • identify key objectives for Scott Road, 72 Avenue, and the surrounding neighbourhoods
  • explore where significant redevelopment may occur
  • identify next steps

An engagement campaign for the Imagine Scott Road Visioning Study was conducted in the Fall of 2022. Over 800 residents actively engaged on the project and over 29,000 residents were informed about the project. More information on the results from this engagement can be found in the Step 1 - What We Heard Engagement Summary..

Background

The R6 – RapidBus is coming to Scott Road. The new RapidBus route will run along Scott Road and 72 Avenue, connecting Newton Town Centre to Scott Road SkyTrain Station. These public transit improvements make the corridor a smart place for growth. Businesses can thrive in areas that are well served by transit. Transit also means people can live, work, and meet more of their daily needs without a vehicle.

On the west side of Scott Road, within the City of Delta, higher density, transit oriented, mixed-use development is already envisioned. In some places, this new development is already under construction.

    In the Fall of 2022, we conducted engagement for the Scott Road and 72 Avenue Visioning Study. The goal of engagement was to understand residents' preferences and perspectives on how the area could evolve as the R6 RapidBus arrives. An online survey and online engagement activities (polls, mapping, and other tools) were available. The What We Heard Report, provides a summary of the Step 1 engagement and survey (Fall-Winter 2022).

    Thank you to the nearly 570 people who took part in the survey and those that participated in the online engagement tools. Since the launch of the Imagine Scott Road Visioning Study online platform in November of 2022, nearly 4,800 people have visited the Imagine Scott Road project page. Of those, 640 visited one or more of the information items, questions, polls, or tools.

    As part of the survey analysis, we consider whose voices were heard and whose were missed. Below are some of the demographic groups we reached. As we move into the next phase of engagement in Spring 2023, we will continue to explore how to better reach a representative sample of those living in the community.

    Representative reach:

    • 34% of respondents were aged 20-39 (30% of residents in the Study Area are aged 20-39)
    • 7% of respondents were new immigrants {0-5 years} (10% of residents in the Study Area were new immigrants {0-5 years)


    Opportunity to improve:

    • 16% of respondents rent (41% of residents in the Study Area rent)
    • 31% of respondents identify as South Asian (64% of residents in the Study Area identify as South Asian)
    • 67% of respondents were non-immigrants (45% of residents in the Study Area are non-immigrants)
