Meanwhile, work is ongoing at the intersection of 8th Avenue and 264th Street for storm sewer and gravel trail work.
Construction was scheduled to begin Sept. 14 for a period of three weeks.

Work is also ongoing at the Langley Bypass.

“The work involves digging across the Langley Bypass and up sizing the existing culverts in Logan Creek,” the City said.
The project was scheduled to begin July 17 and be completed in September. A completion date has not been set by the City.
Traffic will be reduced to a single lane in each direction until the project is complete. Construction is scheduled to take place between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday to Friday.
