What is an OCP and why are we updating it?
The OCP is a shared vision for the future. It sets out goals, objectives and policies to guide our City as it grows. The existing OCP is more than 10 years old and needs to be updated.
The new OCP will:
- Provide a long-term vision for our City.
- Establish clear objectives and actions to achieve the vision.
- Identify housing needs and support a range of housing choices for all.
- Foster a framework for complete, walkable neighbourhoods.
- Support the protection of key natural areas and sensitive ecosystems.
- Support other City and regional strategies focused on growth, climate change and transportation.
Stay involved.
This is the first of many opportunities for you to help shape the plan. Sign up to receive project updates. By sharing your experiences and insights, you are helping to shape the future of Surrey.

please put more thoughts into designing main traffic area
surrey "downtown" city centre is developing very fast, hope thoughts can be put into designing an area with ease of traffic and pedestrian friendly area (for future when there's gonna be even more traffic!) bus lanes, curb sides for buses to stop so the whole right lane isn't constantly stopping too.

Make 132 Street a 4 lane street from 96 Ave to 80 Ave
132 Street gets very congested throughout the weekdays as it is 2 lanes only (just single lane one way). Make it 4 lane street soon (2 lanes each way) to solve this congestion problem.

RCMP must go!
Get rid of the RCMP and continue with the policing transition. Simple as that.

Cloverdale off leash dog park
Converting the empty lot in Cloverdale into an off-leash dog park would provide a multitude of benefits to our community. Firstly, it would create a safe and dedicated space for dogs to exercise and socialize, promoting their physical and mental health. Additionally, a dog park would serve as a social hub for pet owners, fostering community engagement and allowing residents to connect over shared interests. The transformation of an unused space into a vibrant community asset would also enhance the neighborhood’s aesthetic, potentially increasing property values. Furthermore, dog parks can help reduce leash-law violations and the related stress on public spaces, contributing to a cleaner and more orderly community environment. This project represents a low-cost, high-reward opportunity to enrich the lives of Cloverdale's residents and their beloved pets.

Sheltered Bus stops
Need sheltered bus stops especially given the poor frequency of transit at various places. In general public spaces also require more sheltered spaces and those can be designed in a way that the shelters act as sensory elements producing soothing sounds of raindrops falling onto glass or tin.
