It's the kind of pomp and circumstance that Surrey mayor-elect Doug McCallum doesn't have time for these days. Cost estimates released last year by TransLink suggest the project McCallum prefers — SkyTrain from Whalley to Langley along Fraser Highway — would cost $2.9 billion. "I think we're working hard to get the support of the mayors' council," he said. Stewart wants to run a rapid transit line from VCC-Clark Station to all the way to UBC instead of stopping at Arbutus Street. "I'm not a believer in spending that kind of money on a rapid transit line that only goes three quarters of the way."
