RECOMMENDATION:

That Council receive the 216 Street Interchange report for information.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

At its July 25, 2016 meeting, Council directed staff to bring forward a report, which, in collaboration
with Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI), would provide information regarding the
location of the 216 Street Interchange, and other concerns raised by local area residents, including
those related to safety, truck route designation and implications of closing Telegraph Trail at 216.
MoTI is responsible for the design and delivery of the 216 Street Interchange Project and as
requested by the Township, recently completed technical analyses with the intent of comparing the
proposed placement of a full-movement interchange on Highway 1 at 216 Street with a possible
similar interchange at Glover Road. The analyses has identified advantages of an interchange at 216
Street over one at Glover Road as well as issues and constraints with an interchange at Glover Road.
A copy of a technical memorandum provided by MoTI is attached (Attachment A), the findings of
which include the following highlights: an interchange at Glover Road would not meet spacing and
operational requirements; would not be able to address current operational needs at other
interchanges, including 200 Street; would impact existing railways; would impact existing buildings on
Trinity Western University; would not provide adequate connectivity to existing roads; and would have
negative environmental and agricultural impacts.
The need for a new interchange at Highway No. 1 has been identified in community, neighbourhood
and transportation plans adopted by Council since the 1980s. While the location of this new
interchange has been historically confirmed and reiterated at 216 Street, in the late 1980s, alternative
alignments were also considered, to ensure best and most optimal location is ultimately selected.
One such option considered referenced the 217 A Street alignment, but only in conjunction with what
was being contemplated at that time as a provincial highway and crossing of the Fraser River. In the
early 1990s, the 217 A Street alignment for a new interchange, in conjunction with what was referred
to as the Cottonwood Connector leading to a crossing of the Fraser River, was abandoned in favour
of a new crossing of the Fraser River at the 200 Street alignment.
Concerns related to safety and noise have been addressed through expansion of the scope of works
to include improved walkway, pedestrian and crossing facilities and a noise attenuation wall. With
respect to truck routes, the portion of 216 Street north of Highway 1 to 88 Avenue is currently not part
of the truck route network. Changes to truck routes require TransLink approval and an amendment to
the Highway and Traffic Bylaw, subject to Councils approval. However, it should be noted that trucks
are permitted to travel off truck routes for local deliveries. Staff is currently undertaking a review of
the truck route network in north Langley, the results of which are to be presented to Council in the
coming months for Councils consideration and potential amendments.

Concerns have been raised with potential short cutting of traffic through the Forest Hills area with
suggestion of a full or partial closure of Telegraph Trail at 216 Street. Telegraph Trail is a collector
road, intended to carry moderate traffic volumes, and connect to arterial roads. A full or partial
closure is not consistent with Townships bylaws and policies and as such not supported by staff. It is
recommended that staff continue to monitor and evaluate traffic flow and pattern changes following
opening of the interchange, and make recommendations to Council for consideraiton, including
possible implementation of traffic calming measures, and other improvements.
PURPOSE:

This report responds to Councils direction for information regarding the 216 Street Interchange.

BACKGROUND/HISTORY:

The Township of Langley has been planning for a new interchange at Highway No. 1 and 216 Street
since the early 1980s, as a critical link in the transportation network. Design and construction of the
Highway No. 1 Interchange at 200 Street, completed in 2000, was based on a new interchange at 216
Street.
In recent years, the proposed interchange at 216 Street and Trans-Canada Highway No.1, was
identified as one of the top key priorities for the Township, resulting in close collaboration with the
Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) and financial contribution by both the federal and
provincial governments to facilitate its construction.
At its Regular Afternoon meeting of July 25, 2016, Council received staff report no. 06-83, entitled:
Road Network Improvements and approved additional road network improvements in the vicinity of
the proposed 216 Interchange project.
At its Regular Evening meeting of July 25, 2016, Council gave three readings to Bylaw 2016 No. 5233
for the purpose of borrowing funds to contribute Townships share of the 216 Street Interchange
Project to be managed and delivered by the provincial government. Following are the resolutions
passed by Council at the July 25, 2016 meetings:
That Council approve $5.5 million in funding to increase the scope of work currently
underway as part of the provincial 216 Interchange project, to include municipal road
network improvements, including a sound attenuation wall from Highway 1 to 88 Avenue
on the west side of 216 Street, not to exceed the cost of $1.5 million.
That the comments from the delegations be referred to staff and the Ministry of
Transportation and Infrastructure for a report on the following:
why the location was chosen
safety concerns for local residents
implications of a truck route on 216 Street
implications of closing the Telegraph Trail entrance to Forest Hills
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Constructing an interchange at Highway 1 and 216 Street has been a long-standing priority for the
Township and planned since the 1980s. Following information is provided in response to Councils
direction of July 25, as outlined above. Additional information is also provided in response to
enquiries from members of the community, particularly those residing in the Forest Hills area.
Locational Considerations
The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) is responsible for the design and delivery of
the proposed 216 Street Interchange Project at Highway No.1.
As requested by the Township, MoTI has recently completed technical analyses with the intent of
comparing the proposed placement of a full-movement interchange on Highway 1 at 216 Street with a
possible similar interchange at Glover Road. The analyses has identified a number of advantages
that the 216 Street Interchange would have over an interchange at Glover Road as well as a number
of constraints and concerns with an interchange at Glover Road.
The findings of the analyses have been summarized in a technical memorandum, dated October 11,
2016, a copy of which is provided as Attachment A to this report.

Having said that, a future interchange at Highway No. 1 and 216 Street has been identified as a
critical component of the road network and a top priority since the early 1980s. A summarized list of
relevant planning documents approved by Council, reflecting this history is outlined below:

In 1980, the Township of Langley Transportation Grid Network Map identifies 216 Street as a
major road providing access to, and across, Highway 1.

In 1986, the Township of Langley Highway Classification P-1 Map identifies a future Highway
1 interchange at 216 Street, with a potential alternative at approximately the 217 Street
alignment, as a possibility in conjunction with a future crossing of the Fraser River.

In July 1986, Council adopts the Walnut Grove Neighbourhood Plan, which reinforces the
need for a new Highway No. 1 interchange at 216 Street, consistent with the Highway
Classification P-1 Map to support the proposed development in the area.

In 1988, the Townships Master Transportation Plan (MTP) identifies a future Interchange at
Highway No. 1 and 216 Street; with a potential alternative at approximately the 217 Street
alignment, as a possibility in conjunction with a future crossing of the Fraser River.

In 1992 the Highway Classification P-1 Map identifies a future interchange at Highway 1 at 216
Street.

In June 1992, the provincial Ministry of Transportation and Highways confirms that while the
timing for the construction of the interchange cannot be definitively ascertained, the lands
necessary to accommodate the interchange are being acquired and protected.

In 1992 and 1993, the provincial Ministry of Transportation and Highways undertakes several
studies, including a Cottonwood Connector, a Northern Freeway Study, a Serpentine Freeway
Study, a North-South Connector Study and a South Freeway Corridor Study, which showed a
future interchange in the vicinity of 216 Street.

In 1998 the Townships Highway Classification P-1 Map identifies a future interchange at
Highway No. 1 and 216 Street; with a potential alternative at approximately the 217 Street
alignment as a possibility in conjunction with a north-south provincial highway and crossing of
the Fraser River.

In 1999 the provincial Ministry of Transportation and Highways completes the Fraser River
Crossing Planning and Evaluation Study that identifies four options for a new crossing of the
Fraser River, including along the 200 Street alignment.

In 1999, TransLink is formed and begins to lead the planning work for the future Fraser River
Crossing and determines the optimal location along the 200 Street alignment, culminating in
the completion of the Golden Ears Bridge in 2009.

In 1999, the Township enters into an agreement with the province to construct a new Highway
1 interchange at 200 Street, with the design and operational performance of the 200 Street
Interchange being based on completion of a new interchange at 216 Street by 2021.

The Walnut Grove and Willoughby Community and Neighbourhood Plans identify two new
interchanges at 200 and 216 Streets, as well as a new crossing of the Fraser River along the
200 Street alignment.

216 STREET INTERCHANGE

Page 5 . . .

G.5

In 2005, the Townships Highway Classification P-1 Map is modified to show the future Golden
Ears Bridge at 200 Street and a future interchange at 216 Street.

In 2009, the Township completed an update of the Master Transportation Plan (Attachment B)
identifying a future Interchange at 216 Street, as approved by Council.

Notwithstanding the above, some of the local area residents have suggested a proposed new
interchange of Highway 1 at Glover Road, rather than at 216 Street. The provincial Ministry of
Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) is responsible for infrastructure along and on Highway 1.
MoTI, working in collaboration with the Township, and having secured financial assistance from the
federal government, has determined 216 Street as the most suitable location for a new interchange at
Highway 1. This determination is based on road network requirements, previous infrastructure design
and operational characteristics, including the 200 Street Interchange, as well as other factors related
to topography, geography, and spacing, as discussed in more detail below.
MoTI has indicated that the spacing along Highway 1 between Glover Road and 232 Street
(approximately 1,600 metres) is insufficient to allow for an interchange at Glover Road. Interchanges
require certain distances to accommodate traffic traveling at higher speeds wishing to access or exit
the freeway. The short spacing between Glover Road and 232 Street may also result in traffic
weaving which should be avoided. Spacing of a least 3,200 metres (+/-2 miles) is the desirable
distance pursuant to MoTI standards for public safety. The spacing between 200 Street, 216 Street,
and 232 Street is optimal for safe highway operational purposes. It should also be noted that the
intersection of Labonte Road/ Glover Road providing access to Trinity Western University is
approximately 150 metres from Highway No. 1, which would be difficult to maintain if an interchange
were considered at this location.
Provision of access to the major east-west thoroughfare in the community at an optimal location is
also an important consideration for current and future residents and businesses. Access to Highway
1 from Walnut Grove and Willoughby, as well as the Langley Regional Town Center and points to the
south is currently primarily via 200 Street. Staff note that the 200 Street Interchange was designed
assuming a future interchange would be constructed at 216 Street to alleviate traffic conditions and to
meet the needs of existing and future residents. A Glover Road interchange would require Walnut
Grove and Willoughby residents to travel an additional approximately two kilometres to access
Highway 1. Finally, the interchange at 216 Street would be required to support development of
employment lands south of Highway 1, west side of 216 Street.
Community Input
Below is a summarized list of all input (both opposed and supportive) received from local area
residents, with related staff comments:

Locating the interchange along the 217 A Street (Cottonwood Connector) alignment, which
included a large buffer area, rather than 216 Street. As noted previously, the Cottonwood
Connector was intended to serve as a provincial highway, plans for which were abandoned
following studies confirming the optimal location of a crossing of the Fraser River at the 200
Street alignment. The section of 216 Street between 88 and 96 Avenues has been completed
with four travel lanes in anticipation of the future interchange at Highway 1.

Traffic being allowed to go through a residential neighbourhood with a school and the need for
30 km/h school zone signage. The Township, similar to other municipalities in the Lower
Mainland, utilizes the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) guidelines for the design of
roads and the provision of traffic signals and pedestrian facilities. 216 Street between 88
Avenue and 96 Avenue has been designed and constructed to an urban standard that
includes curb, gutter, sidewalks, streetlights, and traffic and pedestrian signals to
accommodate pedestrians. Both elementary schools in the area have controlled access with
signalized crosswalks to cross 216 Street and fencing. The Township has evaluated and
determined that posting of 30 km/h school zones signs is not warranted as per TAC
guidelines. A small portion of the 9100 block of 216 Street is missing a sidewalk and funds
have been allocated to construct a walkway in this area prior to the opening of the
interchange. In addition, the Township will be adding a pedestrian activated amber-flashing
crosswalk at the intersection of 88B Avenue to improve crossings of 216 Street.

Designation of 216 Street as a collector road in the original Walnut Grove Community Plan. At
the time of the plan creation, the term collector road was applied to 216 Street as well as 88
Avenue, 96 Avenue, and 200 Street, all of which were designated as four-lane roads.
Subsequent plan updates amended the language and identified these roads are arterials.

Proximity of the travelled portion of 216 Street to adjacent private property, as compared to
other areas in the Township. Walnut Grove has developed according to the adopted
neighbourhood plans with roads constructed per applicable standard at that time, which did
not include greenways fronting arterial roads such as those proposed in the Willoughby area.
As such, the travelled portion of the road on 216 Street, similar to most of the roads in Walnut
Grove will be between 4 - 5 metres from the property line, as opposed to 8.5 metres in
Willoughby.

Due to traffic concerns, a suggestion was made to use 202 Street to access Highway 1 rather
than 216 Street. The 202 Street underpass and on/off ramps were designed for the use of
high occupancy and transit vehicles and does not have the capacity to accommodate other
road users.

Questions have been raised regarding the limited utility of the Interchange by Walnut Grove
residents, whether the Interchange is needed, and possibility of a design (similar to 192 Street)
that would limit access to the north. MoTI has confirmed that the current configuration of the
on / off ramps at 192 Street is temporary and a full interchange is planned for the future. As
noted previously, the residents of Walnut Grove currently have access to Highway 1 via 200
Street (and 202 Street for HOV vehicles) and the 200 Street Interchange will not function
adequately in the future for Walnut Grove and Willoughby residents unless alternative access
to Highway 1 is provided. In addition, the majority of Walnut Grove Residents and businesses
will benefit from enhanced access to Highway 1 and to the Willoughby area.

Public consultation perceived to be inadequate. It is noted that extensive public consultation

has been carried out as part of many of the studies and Community and Neighbourhood
planning work. In addition, public consultation has occurred as part of the annual budget
process, which identified funding needs for the 216 Street Interchange. MoTI also undertook
public consultation for the widening of Highway 1 and the new Port Mann Bridge that identified
a future 216 Street Interchange. In addition, MoTI undertook public consultation activities for
the 216 Street Interchange in the Walnut Grove area including an open house on March 31,
2016 at the Alex Hope Elementary School.

Noise impact from increased traffic and potential truck traffic. MoTI has a policy for the
installation of noise mitigation measures along provincial highways that includes noise
attenuation walls or berms up to 5 metres in height. The Township does not have a noise
mitigation policy. While the Township has not installed noise mitigation measures as part of
previous capital projects on arterial roads, 216 Street is unique as it connects to Highway 1.
Accordingly, Council has authorized staff to include the installation of a noise attenuation wall
on the west side 216 Street between Highway 1 and 88 Avenue at an estimated cost of $1.5
million. The effectiveness of noise attenuation walls can be reduced by gaps, such as those
that will be present at the intersection of Telegraph Trail and other pedestrian trail connections.
As such, gaps in the wall will be minimized as much as possible.

Increased traffic at the intersection of 216 Street and Glover Road and the proximity of the rail
crossing. Staff has identified the intersection of 216 Street at Glover Road as an area of future
improvements. As Highway 10 (Glover Road) is under the jurisdiction of MoTI, the Township
has initiated discussions with MoTI to undertake a study to determine what improvements are
required. Funding has also been included as part of future capital budgets for the
consideration of Council to cost share potential improvements with MoTI. Staff note that with
the development proposed in the Willoughby area and the proximity of the existing rail line, it is
anticipated that improvements to this intersection would be required regardless of the 216
Street Interchange.

Removal of the previously assigned temporary parking on 216 Street between 88 Avenue and
96 Avenue. This section of 216 Street has been constructed to its ultimate 4-lane standard to
accommodate the future anticipated volume of traffic. Prior to completion of the interchange at
Highway 1 and relatively low volume of traffic, temporary parking future travel lane signs
were installed to accommodate some interim parking. Similar signage is in place in other
areas of the Township, including 208 Street between 88 Avenue and 96 Avenue. There are
no plans to remove on-street parking prior to the opening of the 216 Street Interchange.
Following the opening of the Interchange, staff will monitor traffic volumes and operations and
make adjustments as needed for overall public benefit and safety.

Completion of a transportation plan prior to commencing interchange work. It has been

suggested that the interchange is only needed to support growth on the south side of the
Highway and will result in unwanted traffic in Walnut Grove with noise and air impacts. A
petition submitted suggested that there was an unapproved plan of four lanes, the road should
be kept to two lanes, access limited to the south, and a plan completed for 216 Street from
Highway 1 to 96 Avenue. As noted previously, there are numerous plans approved by Council
supporting the interchange at 216 Street, which will benefit all Township residents and
businesses, including those in Walnut Grove. The concerns with the proximity to residences
and schools have been mitigated through additional improvements, including completion of
sidewalks, installation of crosswalks, traffic signals, and noise attenuation barriers. Staff will
continue to monitor traffic pattern changes to determine if additional road network
improvements are needed and bring such forward to Council for consideration of approval.

Pedestrian and cycling connections being provided as part of the Interchange project ae not
needed as the 208 Street system is adequate. The Township has received input from other
community members and stakeholders that there will be significant benefit to Township
residents when the pedestrian and cycling facilities proposed as part of the Interchange project
have been completed. It is noted that 208 Street is approximately 1.6 kilometres from 216
Street and as such not a viable alternative for residents near 216 Street.

216 STREET INTERCHANGE

Page 8 . . .

G.5

Residents have also indicated support for the interchange as it will alleviate traffic congestion
currently being experienced on other roads, and will benefit all Township residents, including
those residing on the north side of Highway 1.

Input has been received from local area residents supporting the proposed interchange at 216
Street, including the provision of access to Highway No. 1 from both the north and south sides,
as it would reduce traffic through Walnut Grove by allowing the eastern portions of Walnut
Grove and areas to the east to access the Highway without having to drive through Walnut
Grove.

Other local area residents have expressed support for the proposed interchange at 216 Street,
thanking Council for its commitment and noting that it has been planned for more than 20
years, residents have been aware of it, land has been acquired, noise attenuation walls added,
functionality preserved, cycling facilities included and access to Highway 1 provided.

Other residents expressed support for the interchange as proposed, noting that a full
movement interchange is needed at a halfway point between 200 and 232 Streets, to serve all
the Township residents and businesses, who rely on an effective transportation system. It was
suggested that anticipated traffic pattern changes in Walnut Grove would likely ease
congestion on other roads; and that at a Glover Road access to Highway No. 1 does not
eliminate the need for access at 216 Street.

Truck Routes
Prior to 1982, the Township did not have a designated truck route network. As such, all roads were
considered truck routes unless signage was in place to restrict truck traffic. In 1982, the Township
amended its Highway and Traffic Bylaw to include designated truck routes including 216 Street
between 88 Avenue and 96 Avenue. All subsequent versions of the Highway and Traffic Bylaw have
included this section of 216 Street, as well as 88 Avenue and 96 Avenue in Walnut Grove as truck
routes for commercial vehicles with a gross vehicle weight greater than 10,000 kilograms. Changes
to the truck route network would involve a bylaw amendment process, subject to Councils approval.
As part of the formation of TransLink in 1999, the South Coast British Columbia Transportation
Authority Act (the Act) was passed by the BC Government. The Act grants TransLink rights to limit
municipal authority with respect to truck routes. TransLink must approve any changes to the truck
route network or any restrictions that would prohibit the movement of trucks.
Attachment C illustrates the existing truck route network in the Township, which includes 216 Street
between 88 Avenue and 96 Avenue, 88 Avenue, and 96 Avenue in Walnut Grove. As part of the
Williams Neighbourhood Plan process for the lands south of Highway 1 and west of 216 Street, an
amendment to the truck route network to include the portion of 216 Street between Highway 1 and
Highway 10 (Glover Road) is being considered.
Following the formation of TransLink in 1999, some of the roads in the Township were classified as
part of the TransLink Major Road Network (MRN) intended to serve a regional function. The MRN
(see Attachment D) includes roads such as 200 Street, Fraser Highway, 16 Avenue, 64 Avenue
88 Avenue, 96 Avenue, and 216 Street between 88 Avenue and 96 Avenue. As an MRN road,
TransLink provides 100% of the Operations, Maintenance and Rehabilitation costs (OMR) and capital
upgrades that improve people moving capacity are eligible for up to 50% funding. In 2016, the
Township received $2,919,000 from TransLink for OMR costs based upon $19,810 per lane
kilometres x 188.2 lane kilometres of MRN roads. A TransLink requirement for MRN eligibility is that
the road be designated as a truck route.

216 STREET INTERCHANGE

Page 9 . . .

G.5

The addition of 216 Street between Highway 1 and 88 Avenue to the truck route network would make
it eligible to be an MRN road, which, subject to Council and TransLink approval, would provide for
100% of the OMR funding and up to 50% of the cost of upgrades. Ultimately, with a 4 lane width, up
to 3.5 lane kilometres of MRN could be added for an additional $67,000 in OMR. Conversely, the
portions of 88 Avenue from 200 Street to 216 Street, 96 Avenue from 201 Street to 216 Street, and
216 Street from 88 Avenue to 96 Avenue were added to the MRN in recognition of the future 216
Street Interchange. Ultimately, when those routes are widened to the ultimate 4 lane width identified
in the MTP there would potentially be 30 lane kilometres of MRN that could potentially be removed
resulting in a potential loss of $595,000 per year in OMR funding.
The Township uses positive guide signage to identify routes that trucks are allowed to use and relies
on voluntary compliance by motor vehicle operators. Bylaw enforcement staff do not have the ability
to stop a moving vehicle, with such enforcement falling to the RCMP. Regardless of designation as a
truck route, trucks are allowed to use the shortest route from a truck route to a local destination.
Concern has been raised with truck traffic potentially avoiding the 200 Street Interchange and using
216 Street to access the Golden Ears Bridge. It should be noted that MoTI is also undertaking
widening of Highway 1 from 202 Street to just east of 216 Street and is also undertaking
improvements to the westbound off ramp at the 200 Street Interchange that will improve access to the
Golden Ears Bridge. The route using 200 Street uses higher speed roads such as Highway 1 and
200 Street, is a shorter distance, and will have fewer traffic signals as compared to 216 Street.
Due to concerns raised by local residents with truck routes north of Highway 1, staff engaged an
engineering consulting firm to undertake a North Langley Truck Route Review. The review includes
an assessment of the existing truck route network servicing Fort Langley, Walnut Grove and the
Glenn Valley areas and the development of options for amendments to truck routes. The review is
currently underway and staff will report to Council with the results when completed. Potential
changes to the truck route network are subject to completion of the review, presentation to Council,
further direction from Council and potential approval of TransLink.
Forest Hills Neighbourhood
Concerns have been raised by some local residents with respect to potential short cutting of traffic
from the 216 Street Interchange through the Forest Hills area west of 216 Street. In terms of
background, the Township uses Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) guidelines and
principles in the development of its community and neighbourhood plans and the Master
Transportation Plan (MTP) in the classification of arterial, collector, and local roads. Arterial roads
primary function is to carry traffic with only limited access to adjacent properties, with local roads
intended to provide address the function of provision of access to adjacent properties. Collector roads
are intended to carry moderate volumes of traffic, connect local roads to arterial road, and provide
some access to adjacent properties.
The Forest Hills area is generally bounded by three arterial roads, namely: 88 Avenue, 208 Street,
and 216 Street and Highway No. 1 to the south. Access to the area is provided through four collector
roads including 87 Avenue, Walnut Grove Drive, 212 Street and Telegraph Trail. Other collector
roads in the neighbourhood include 86A Avenue between Telegraph Trail and 212 Street. Changes
to collector roads, such as implementation of traffic calming measures, is projected to impact traffic on
other collector roads in the neighbourhood with potential negative impacts to residents in other areas.
The Township Neighbourhood Traffic Calming Policy (Attachment E) recognizes the potential impact
from the traffic calming of collector roads by limiting the type of traffic calming measures that can be
implemented. The Policy is based upon best practices and the typical traffic measures that are used
for each road class. Traffic calming measures such as directional closures, diverters, full closures, or
intersection

216 STREET INTERCHANGE

Page 10 . . .

G.5

channelization are not permitted on collector roads as per Policy. Due to the potential impact from
traffic calming measures, the Policy also requires that ballot of the potentially affected neighbourhood
be undertaken with a minimum of 67% support before traffic calming measures can be considered.
The full or partial closure of Telegraph Trail at 216 Street would have several negative implications
that must be clearly considered. These potential negative implications include diversion of local traffic
to 212 Street and 88 Avenue to access 216 Street, thereby increasing traffic and travel time on those
routes and affecting east-west connectivity at Telegraph Trail. Full or partial closure would be
inconsistent with the role and function of a collector road, inconsistent with Township Policy, may lead
to similar requests in other neighbourhoods and as such not supported by staff.
In recognition of concerns raised by some local area residents with respect to potential short cutting of
traffic, staff undertook traffic volumes and speed surveys on roads surrounding the 216 Street
Interchange in the summer of 2016 to establish a base line. Staff will be undertaking additional traffic
volume and speed surveys following the opening of the 216 Street Interchange to evaluate the impact
and changes to traffic patterns in the area. Subject to the findings of the evaluation, staff may be
recommending modifications, or improvements, such as traffic calming process, for Councils
consideration. Subject to a successful petition process, staff could proceed with development of
traffic calming options for public input and subsequent implementation, subject to Councils approval
and funding.
Summary
The 216 Street Interchange creates a new link in the Township transportation network that has overall
positive implications for Township residents and businesses, including those in Walnut Grove and
Willoughby. While there has been support expressed by some residents and stakeholder groups,
noting the significant benefits associated with the proposed interchange, some local area residents
have expressed concerns with what can be generally categorized as traffic, noise, and safety issues.
The Township has mitigated potential impacts by incorporating additional capital improvements into
the current project scope and will incorporate as part of future capital budget requests to Council, as
needed, including the following provisions:

pedestrian and cycling facilities from Highway 1 to Telegraph Trail;

a full traffic signal at the intersection of Telegraph Trail and 216 Street;
a pedestrian activated crosswalk at the intersection of 88B Avenue and 216 Street;
walkway improvements on the 9100 block of 216 Street;
intersection improvements at 80 Avenue and 216 Street;
intersection improvements at 80 Avenue and 212 Street;
a noise attenuation wall on the west side of 216 Street from Highway 1 to 88 Avenue;
improvements to the curve in the 7400 block of 216 Street; and
undertaking a study in collaboration with MoTI for the intersection of 216 Street at Highway
No. 10 (Glover Road) with the goal of identifying and implementing future improvements.

In addition, Township staff are committed to monitor the impact of the 216 Street Interchange Project,
following its opening, to determine if additional improvements are necessary and make associated
recommendations to Council for their consideration and approval.

Project
Interchange Location Review Memorandum FINAL Rev.0

The purpose of this technical memorandum is to compare the proposed placement of a full-movement
interchange on Highway 1 at 216 Street with a similar interchange at Glover Road. This review identified
the following advantages that the 216 Street Interchange would have over an interchange at Glover
Road.

Spacing between Interchanges The Transportation Association of Canada (TAC)

Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads states that as a general guide in rural
areas, interchanges are normally spaced at between 3 km and 8 km. The proposed
216 Street Interchange would be situated at 3.5 km east of the existing 200 Street
Interchange and 3.6 km west of the existing 232 Street Interchange, which is an ideal
location based on the TAC criteria. TAC also states that the minimum spacing of
interchanges is determined by the distance required for weaving, speed change lanes,
and the appropriate placement of directional signs. An interchange at Glover Road
would place it only 1.7 km west of the existing 232 Street Interchange and there
would be weaving issues, directional signing issues and safety concerns between the
ramps of the two interchanges.
Distance from 200 Street Interchange The existing 200 Street Interchange is
currently operating above its capacity while the population and employment
opportunities continue to grow in Langley. If an interchange is constructed at Glover
Road, it would be situated at more than 5 km east of 200 Street with limited arterial
roads connecting to it; therefore, it would provide limited improvements to alleviate
the current congestions on 200 Street, and the arterial road crossing of the highway
at 208 Street. The proposed 216 Street Interchange would provide immediate benefits
to Langleys road network by creating a new north-south arterial link in an area with
high potentials for population and employment growth, e.g., the future Williams
Neighbourhood.

Connectivity to Municipal Roads The Township of Langley (the Township) has

designated 216 Street as a Major Arterial Roadway and has adopted plans for an
interchange at 216 Street. The Township has also designated the lands west of 216
Street for Urban Growth, and is developing good connectivity between 216 Street and
the municipal road network within the urban area. A well planned municipal road
network would provide short and direct access for the local residents to the 216 Street
Interchange. Conversely, the Township has not planned for an interchange at Glover
Road and the lands around Glover Road are designated to remain Rural
Residential/Agricultural. The existing and planned future municipal road network does
not provide convenient access to an interchange at Glover Road; as a result, local
residents would have to travel greater distances to gain access to the interchange via
existing roadways that are generally rural and lack capacities to accommodate the
growth in heavy traffic volumes.
Impacts to Existing Railway Overpass on Highway 1 If an interchange is
constructed at Glover Road, its east-facing ramps would impact the existing railway
overpass on Highway 1; as a result, significant cost and schedule impacts will be
incurred on the project schedule.
Impacts to Agricultural Lands The existing lands in the proximity of Glover Road
currently belong within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). If an interchange is
constructed at Glover Road, existing agricultural lands would be impacted and the
project would require lengthy application processes with the Agricultural Land
Commission (ALC) to convert them for transportation uses. At the proposed 216 Street
Interchange location, the ALR is only on the east side of the roadway and the impacts
to the ALR are substantially less than an interchange at Glover Road would cause.

Environmental Impacts There are a number of environmentally sensitive

waterways in the proximity of Glover Road, such as Salmon River. The construction
of an interchange at Glover Road would incur significant environmental impacts to
these waterways and negative affect the surrounding farming communities. A new
bridge may be required to mitigate the impacts to the Salmon River, which would cost
significantly more if the bridge has to be increased in size to accommodate freeway
ramps from an interchange at Glover Road.
Impacts to Trinity Western University The Trinity Western University campus is
located immediately to the south of Highway 1. If an interchange is constructed at
Glover Road, its eastbound on-ramp and the interchange footprint are expected to
impact a number of university facilities.

Based on these preliminary findings, especially the poor spacing from the existing 232 Street
interchange and the limited capacity support for 200 Street, an interchange would not be ideal at Glover
Road when compared against the benefits from constructing one at 216 Street.
