A group of Surrey residents opposed to the construction of the South Fraser Perimeter Road are planning to occupy a construction zone beneath the Patullo Bridge Saturday at 4:00pm.
Organizer Imtiaz Ppopat says the group is concerned about a highway going through what he calls a residential area.
“We have been opposing the South Perimeter Road from the very beginning because it’s actually going through residential areas and along the Fraser River through ecologically sensitive areas including Surrey Bend, Burns Bog, and so on. It’s the wrong place for a trucking highway to go through.”
Popat says the protest is merely symbolic and won’t interfere with traffic or construction.
