TransLink wants to know what you think about the SkyTrain from Surrey to Langley.
TransLink is sharing details of its public engagement plan, which includes an online survey and four open houses.
TransLink’s Geoff Cross says it’s in its initial stages.
“We’re not providing a lot of information about the actual projects yet. We’re in that development stage but a really critical piece is understanding what’s important to people,” Cross said.
