On Thursday (May 19), a large and determined group of New Westminster residents gathered to find out what design TransLink would be pushing for the first section of the North Fraser Perimeter Road. Instead, the crowd burst into boisterous applause when Sany Zein, TransLink’s director of roads, announced that TransLink would cancel the North Fraser Perimeter Road portion of the Gateway Program because local residents and New Westminster council would not support it.

We have lots more work ahead to stop the South Fraser Perimeter Road in its tracks - but the ball is rolling, resistance south of the Fraser is gaining ground, and spirit and awareness are now at an all-time high in the wake of our successful 2-wk occupation camp in Delta. Huge thanks to the many who supported this powerful Action. Watch for more Stop the Pave action coming soon...viva!
