Mr. Hogg submitted these comments on January 27.
Gordon Hogg, Liberal MLA for Surrey-White Rock:
.
How will you advise your constituents to vote on the Transportation & Transit Referendum?
I will advise my constituents that I support the referendum and my reasons include:
- The importance of planning for our region’s future with a vision focused on the values important to a diverse, multicultural world-class community.
- A vision that recognizes and enhances our current attributes.
- The value of upgrading the overall transportation connectivity to the region
- The positive social, cultural, environmental and economic impacts in a geographically sensitive and confined area.
.
What is the priority in the Mayors’ package (if any) for your riding?
Specifically, the extension of the 96 B line to White Rock Centre, more night-bus service and more HandyDART will all improve the livability, access and connectivity of South Surrey-White Rock and the Metro region.
.
How do you plan to participate in the referendum campaign?
I will include these comments in my communications- speeches, advertising and mail outs.
.
Any other comments?
I am a frequent user of public transit and these comments are also informed by that perspective.
