ECONOMIC PROSPERITY & LIVELIHOODS

• Improve drainage in agricultural areas through construction of new pump stations and low level pumps (Colebrook and Burrows); • Improve lowland resiliency by initiating the design of dyke upgrades to the Serpentine and Nicomekl dykes

between the existing sea dams and 152 Street; and • Raise all lowland spillways to their final elevations to provide improved protection and productivity for the farming community.

BUILT ENVIRONMENT & NEIGHBOURHOODS

• Advance the early planning recommendations from the approved Coastal Flood Control Strategy, including: • Changes to the OCP, Hazard Area Development Permit and possible

other bylaws to reflect needed changes for resiliency;

• Development of a costal monitoring system; and • Improve drainage service to the older areas of Surrey to reduce flooding.
