Concern that between 60 and 80 businesses along the Fraser Highway in Surrey from 152nd to 166th Streets could be gone if and when SkyTrain construction begins.
Fleetwood Business Improvement Association Executive Director Dean Barbour says that's his estimate considering where the stations are slated to be located. He's also concerned about what impact construction could have for the end of the line near the Surrey Sport and Leisure Centre.
Right now there's only enough money on the table, 1.6 billion, to get the trains to roughly 166th Street.
