2018-19 City of Surrey Engineering Goals and Accomplishments

RAPID TRANSIT & STRATEGIC PROJECTS “2019 happened in rapid fashion – Our 2019 Work Plan was very ambitious, centered around a series of well established and defined strategic initiatives, and by the end of the year we successfully achieved our work plan and each initiative through excellence in teamwork, collaboration and dedication. Thank you to our team and staff across Engineering and various City Departments on aligning together to achieve a common and unified vision.” ~ SCOTT NEUMAN UTILITIES DIVISION “2019 was a busy year in the Utilities Division and as always staff rose to the meet the challenge. The exceptional work in preparing to apply for the Disaster Mitigation Adaptation Fund (DMAF) bore great results as we received substantial federal government funds. We have already started to implement our DMAF program and are continuing to make our City resilient to coastal flooding. We continue to work hard to provide clean drinking water and sanitary sewer services to a growing bustling city. We dedicated our West Village Energy Centre and continue to provide reliable district energy services to our City Centre residents. In partnership with our youth, we again rehabilitated salmon bearing streams, safeguarding and protecting our natural resources. Thank you – each and every one of you – as your hard work and dedication makes a difference for the City and for our Utilities Division!” ~ YONATAN YOHANNES TRANSPORTATION DIVISION “The transportation landscape is rapidly evolving with transit ridership exploding, new SkyTrain and RapidBus services coming soon and new mobility options fast approaching. Thank you to the whole team for your passion and hard work in planning for this constant change and helping to deliver our shared vision of a multi-modal, safe, inclusive and efficient transportation system that supports Smart Development and quality of life for all. 2019 Awards for Vision Zero Surrey, GIS Excellence and Cycling Infrastructure are recognition of the great and innovative work being done by all of you day in and day out.” ~ JAIME BOAN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DIVISION “Thank-you to the Design & Construction team for a successful 2019. We delivered on our key initiatives and the City’s capital infrastructure program which was successful based on your continued passion for delivering complex infrastructure to support our growing and thriving City. We showed our ability to adapt by embracing a culture of continuous improvement and making changes to our processes that allowed us to streamline our service delivery to continue building cost-effective infrastructure in a timely manner. I look forward to our continued success in 2020!” ~ VICTOR JHINGAN
