OverviewWhat is the Surrey Rapid Transit Study?

The purpose of the Surrey Rapid Transit Study is to:

• Identify and evaluate a range of technology and alignment alternatives on several corridors; and

• Support the selection of a preferred network alternative for 2040.

The Surrey Rapid Transit Study is sponsored by TransLink and the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) to identify and evaluate potential rapid transit solutions. Study partners include the Cities of Surrey and Langley, and Metro Vancouver. The Corporation of Delta, the City of White Rock, and the Township of Langley are also involved in the process at key milestones.

Rapid Transit Planning in Metro Vancouver

Rapid transit service that is fast, frequent and reliable plays an important role in helping to shape the sustainable growth of the region. By increasing transit ridership and supporting transit-oriented development and economic growth, rapid transit expansion can also help meet provincial and regional greenhouse gas reduction targets and contribute to a sustainable transportation system for the region.

The Surrey Rapid Transit Study is one among many studies that will establish a Regional Rapid Transit Plan as part of TransLink’s long-term transportation strategy, Transport 2045.

There are many rapid transit technology options for rapid transit expansion in Surrey, including bus rapid transit (BRT), light rail transit (LRT), rail rapid transit (RRT), or some combination of these technologies. Any rapid transit option will be supported by local bus services.

A multi-phased study is underway to review the alternatives for rapid transit service for Surrey and surrounding communities, which are among the fastest growing parts of Metro Vancouver.

Study Process

A multi-phase, technical study is underway which involves project partners working together to study rapid transit expansion in Surrey and the surrounding communities. Stakeholder and public consultation provide input into the development and evaluation of rapid transit alternatives.

The scope of analysis shifts throughout the progression of the project. In the initial phases of the study, a high level-analysis of many alternatives provided the project partners with sufficient information to bring forward a smaller number of alternatives to study in greater detail. As the study progresses, the number of alternatives decreases as the level of analysis increases.

PHASE 1

Phase 1 of the study identified opportunities and challenges to be addressed by rapid transit, as well as identified a Shortlist of alternatives to evaluate in greater detail in subsequent phases.

PHASE 2

Phase 2 of the study is the design development and detailed evaluation of the Shortlist alternatives.

PHASE 3

Phase 3 of the study will further the design of the preferred alternative, including identifying phasing and the timeline for implementation.

Transport 2040 (TransLink) and the Provincial Transit Plan (BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure) both set out ambitious targets for shifting travel patterns and identify expansion of rapid transit in the South of Fraser Area.

Transportation Context

The South of Fraser Area Transit Plan was developed by TransLink in 2008 after two years of consultation with local stakeholders and the public. The plan laid out a long-term transit vision, and identified priorities for near-term transit improvements to build towards that vision. An expanded grid of rapid transit and frequent local transit routes were identified as key elements of that plan.

Using input from Phase 1 public consultations, the study team is developing each alternative, including designing more specific routes and identifying potential station locations. The development of alternatives will help in completing a more detailed Multiple Account Evaluation which includes generating costs, assessing impacts, forecasting ridership and other details needed to evaluate and compare the alternatives.

Consultation on Preliminary Design and Evaluation Results

We will be back for the second round of public consultation to have a more detailed discussion about the alternatives. The feedback provided to us in this round will help refine the designs and evaluation.

lAtE 2011 / EArly 2012

Reporting on evaluation results

In late 2011 / early 2012 we will share with the public the final evaluation results that will be presented to decision-makers at the Province of BC and TransLink. This will support a decision on the preferred alternative to expand rapid transit in Surrey and neighbouring communities.

tO bE dEtErmiNEd Phase 3: Detailed Design

Once a preferred network alternative has been identified, the third phase of the study will begin. In this phase, the preferred alternative will be designed in detail, and the phasing and timeline for implementation will be identified.

IBI GROUP PROPOSAL: RPT-HCI-NC-002 – REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL – JEDDAH-3 MASTERPLAN RFP – SUBMISSION 2 – TECHNICAL, MODON, KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA

NOVEMBER 2010Director-in-Charge, Dr. Muhammad Mustafa

4.2 MethodologyOur approach to the work plan is to meet all of the deliverables and specific programming requirements identified in the Request for Proposal. Execution of the work will be directed by our Dubai office, with the planning being led out of our Vancouver office with full specialist support of other team member offices in Toronto and in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. IBI Group is conditioned to working in this manner using our global virtual studio and online web meetings which allow for efficient communication among team members in between bi-weekly face-to-face client meetings.

The Masterplanning process will be carried out as per the project program identified in the RFP, and more specifically through the tasks more fully detailed in our Work Plan, and as summarized below:

Market Assessment and Business Plan

The Market and Business Appraisal will be the first undertaking and will identify the zoning mix, infrastructure budget costs, and land requirements.

Baseline Site Appraisal

In a parallel exercise to the Market Assessment and Business Plan, a Baseline Site Appraisal Report will be prepared (including a flood assessment) that will identify all of the physical parameters and constraints to the site. The IBI Group team will meet with the Government and other agencies during this phase of the project with a view to determining development plans, establishing service capacities, and identifying any environmental issues. Unique opportunities associated with the physical character of the site will also be identified. It is understood that MODON is carrying out the survey work through a separate contract and that our team will be relying on the information obtained from that effort – i.e. drawings and reports that will indicate existing services, topography, geotechnical, and hydrological information.

City Masterplan Options (Concept Plans)

Once the Market Assessment and Business Plan and Baseline Site Appraisal tasks have been successfully completed, three (3) concept plan options will be prepared to identify the major structural elements (streets and block parcels), zoning/land uses, utility requirements, and development phasing. These three concept plans options, which are really the structural framework of the master plan, will undergo a comparative SWOT analysis to include cost estimates. This comparative analysis will be presented to MODON who will select and approve the preferred option.

MODON will have three opportunities to comment on the development of the preferred Concept Plan.

4.3.1 Market Study

Introduction

The RFP suggests a ‘top-down’ approach to the market analysis which starts at a global level and filters down to a broadly based macro regional level, the national level, and then the local level. Given the global economy, such an approach is an informed and effective manner of initially determining high-level global market considerations and then focussing on the opportunity to respond locally.

The market study is to be carried out to develop a strategy for Jeddah-3 which is aligned with the National Industrial Strategy (NIS) of Saudi Arabia. Further, a clear linkage with the Saudi Clusters Program (National Industrial Cluster Development Program (NICDP) is also required. Of note, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) recognizes that the achievement of sustainable economic development is a challenge for a myriad of reasons. However, a key objective of the KSA is diversification of the economic base with a view less reliance on oil resources. Therefore, the KSA has focused initiatives on developing and enhancing the role of non-oil sectors in the national economy. The strength and size of the non-oil sector is a key element of the subject market study. Overall, the KSA wishes to grow the non-oil sector. The subject proposal responds to the KSA initiative to create five new industrial cities; Jeddah-3 is one of the five cities being planned.

Jeddah-3 is a new industrial city located some 50 km from the Jeddah city centre and some 2 km from Jeddah-2. Jeddah-3 is approximately

4.3.7 Detailed Masterplan

Goals and Objectives

The goal of the detailed masterplanning will be to produce a final plan that sets forth the specifications for implementation of a world-class centre of industrial excellence that, through its strong identity, will attract foreign direct investments.

Three important objectives will help to realize this goal:

1. Overall Urban Design – detailed requirements will be set forth for overall urban design elements such as subdivision and plot building massing, road cross-sections, pedestrian areas, major entrances and service areas, and landscaped areas. Phasing will be calculated to ensure that infrastructure is balanced in an orderly fashion with market-driven absorption.

2. Subdivision and Plot Specifics – the location, configuration, and size of all subdivisions and specific plots will be optimized to attract the types of industrial users envisioned.

3. Development Guidelines – detailed regulations will be set forth by plot to guide users in such areas as building massing and height, setbacks, loading areas, and signage.

General Approach

We will attend meetings, conduct design workshops, and coordinate with specialists. In the detailed planning phase it will be imperative that all consultants are carefully coordinated and working from the same information: accordingly, the Masterplanning team, by way of a project FTP site, timely meeting minutes, and regular updates, we will communicate with consultants and client all drawings and key decisions.
