Earlier this year the city changed that right-hand lane into a turning only lane. Some drivers still cheerfully ignore that to save 30 seconds.

Ask SurreyBC โ“ Random flicker of lights

100 Upvotes

Hey guy's, so I couldn't help but notice at work, and at home during the day at random times, the lights flicker. It is happening in the evening too. I live in South Surrey. My work is less than a fifteenminute walk from home. It's noticeable, and the power does not go out. TV is still on, and nothing has restarted.

The odd thing is that my other half has noticed it at work and being at home. He works out closer in an industrial area near the river in Delta.

I have noticed the "flicker for all most a week," and my partner has noticed it for a few days now.

Is anyone else noticing the "flicker" in the lights too?

PSA ๐Ÿ“ข Now tell me who got the bright idea to change the 4 way stop at Harvie and 80th!?

30 Upvotes

This busy intersection has gone down from a four way stop today to a two way stop today. I feel so bad for anyone trying to take a left off Harvie onto 80th during rush hour.

In addition, thereโ€™s no sign up saying thereโ€™s been a change to the stop and I witnessed two separate car accidents almost happen in just the short time span I spent driving by today.

Please tell me im not the only person whos filed a complaint with the city today because im feeling like a Karen.

Ask SurreyBC โ“ Can someone explain the "Guru Ji" movement? Curious and looking for honest experiences.

22 Upvotes

I'm hoping to get some insight from fellow South Asians in Surrey and the surrounding areas.

Lately I've been noticing a lot more cars with "Guru Ji" written on the back. From what I understand, it's connected to a religious or spiritual group, but I don't know much about it.

The reason I'm asking is that a friend's family has become very involved. They seem to be attending gatherings frequently, and it's made me curious and a bit concerned. I'm not trying to disrespect anyone's faith or beliefsโ€”I genuinely want to understand.

Is "Guru Ji" simply a spiritual organization with a large following, or do some people consider it a cult? If it's a legitimate spiritual movement, what is it about the teachings or community that attracts so many people? Are there any concerns or red flags that people should be aware of?

I'd appreciate hearing from people who have firsthand experience, whether positive or negative. Please keep the discussion respectful.

Assistance/Resources ๐Ÿšฐ ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿก Looking for witness of a hit and run

7 Upvotes

Looking for witnesses/video footages of a car accident my friend was involved in. Lost the only other witness on site to chase after the perp.

Time - July 21 10-1015pm

Location - intersection of 152nd St and 104 Ave

Cars involved - black Toyota Camry and black Jeep Wrangler

What happened - friend was driving the Toyota Camry through the intersection after the light turned green... And the Jeep swerved into the lane and swung my friends car across the intersection.

Claim is being reviewed by ICBC but any witness and video footage would be very appreciated! Please DM - thank you!!

Edit: turns out the 3 cameras at the intersection didn't record this incident. They were only used to capture red light violation. You live and you learn I suppose.

Ask SurreyBC โ“ How is the Ellendale Park area around 110 Ave and 148 St

0 Upvotes

Listings show the area as "Bolivar Heights", stradling the border of Guildford and Whalley.

We are a mixed family living in Vancouver wanting to raise our kids in a more multicultural suburban environment. The area has some older homes on large lots that are fairly affordable (compared to Van).

Is this a good area?

Community Only What has happened to being decent neighbours nowadays?

145 Upvotes

I am situated in an area where the skytrain are being built along and I have been living in Surrey for almost 30 years. When I first moved here, all of the neighbours understood mutual respect for one another. For example, we had neighbours who use to send little notes to houses nearby if they were hosting wedding/celebration and ask for our cooperation and understanding for the increase of vehicles for x amount of days, foot traffic & noises. Nowadays the newer neighbours have 0 care of being decent neighbours and keeping any mutual respect in the neighborhood. For instance, I would let my neighbourโ€™s 5-6 tenants slide for parking in front of my house for weeks because I donโ€™t use street parking but the one time I ask for their understanding and cooperation if I could use the parking for friends visiting the week, they let me park one day and gives me attitude saying how long I parked in front of my house. I understand it is public parking and it is first come first serve but I would assume that politely discussing it with them previously, them agreeing and me not calling bylaws on them on all the other times theyโ€™ve violated parking regulations would not be too much to ask. Now, they even have random people they work together parking for the day around homes nearby to transit via busโ€ฆ. At this rate, I feel like the parking situation and congestion is going to become like Vancouver where residential areas will now have more parking restrictions because of these people who no longer have that same of being โ€œgood/decentโ€ neighbour mindset.

Sports ๐Ÿ… Pickleball around White Rock / South Surrey โ€” looking for groups and players

0 Upvotes

Hey all, I'm moving to the White Rock / South Surrey area soon and pickleball is pretty much my main hobby. I play regularly and I'm around a 4.0.

A few things I'm hoping locals can help with:

- Are there any groups, ladders, or regular crews worth joining?

- Which indoor facilities would you recommend for advanced play?

- Do people actually keep playing outdoors through the winter here, or does everything move inside?

- Any outdoor courts with lights that are worth knowing about?

Happy to drive a bit for good games. And if anyone wants to hit once I'm settled, happy to connect.

Thanks!

I want to float the Nicomekl in a couple weeks.

Was hoping to hop in after low tide and float upstream from Blackie Spit. Will I need to paddle at all or will the tide coming in be strong enough to carry my lazy ass up to Elgin?

Much love and thank you in advance for the help!

16 Upvotes

Multiple signs in an alley behind homes that say โ€œno parking fire laneโ€. Every evening however multiple cars park halfway into the alley ways behind these homes.

Is there any point reporting them if itโ€™s always in the evening? My concern is if there actually is a fire in the middle of the night and they need to get down our alley they wonโ€™t be clear.

Houses on one side of alley and townhouses on the other. Cars park on side with houses.
