The Hawthorne Park controversy could finally have a decision on Monday night.
The city controversially announced its plans to build a corridor through Hawthorne Park by adopting a bylaw to remove the protected status of the park.

A petition was passed around Surrey that received more than 11,000 signatures in the fall. However, the rules state that ten per cent of residents – more than 30,000 – needed to sign the petition to reject the bylaw.
Tonight, the city will hear the opposing group’s report, and a decision on Hawthorne Park could follow after that.
More to come.
