The plan has been the same for the last 5 years. There has always been the intention to make light rail through Surrey and Langley and the plan has always been to improve the bike lanes and roads.

A yes or no vote will not change the plan, it will merely change the way that Translink makes money.

The plan has been similar for years, and translink has been trying to get funding for it. The referendum is the last ditch attempt to actually get funding. In the event of a no vote it is unlikely that anything but road expansion will occur for the next five to ten years.
