Town centre plan revisited
Jump start

By Jennifer Lang The document that guides future development in the heart of Cloverdale is being updated, and residents who want to find out more are invited to the Surrey Museum tonight (May 22). The City of Surrey is starting the process of updating the Land Use Plan and Urban Design Concept for the Cloverdale Town Centre. The city’s planning team will be on hand, explaining how the planning process will work, and seeking feedback from residents. “At this point, we’re just looking for input from people,” said Don Luymas, manager of community planning for the City of Surrey. “What do they like about the Cloverdale Town Centre, and what would they like to see changed?” The original Cloverdale Town Centre plan was done in 1990, before the completion of the new Surrey Museum and the Cloverdale West Village plan to redevelop the old Cloverdale Mall site. “The older plan had some areas desig-
nated for parks and plazas that don’t really make sense anymore,” he added. The area under discussion covers downtown Cloverdale between 60 Ave. and 54 Ave., from 172 Street to 180 Street, and undeveloped land southeast to 184 St. that includes Kwantlen Polytechnic University and the Bourassa Farm property. The city is updating all its town centre plans, starting with Fleetwood, Newton and Cloverdale, where relatively minor tweaks are needed. “I don’t foresee dramatic change,” he said, adding the next step is to consult over the summer with stakeholders such as the Cloverdale BIA, the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, Surrey Museum and Kwantlen Polytechnic University before coming back to the public in the fall. The meeting runs from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Welcoming remarks are at 7 p.m. The Surrey Museum is located at 17710 56A Avenue. For more information, contact Erin Schultz, community planning, at 604598-5776 or email ejschultz@surrey.ca.
It’s the ultimate road trip By Jennifer Lang It’s the road trip of a lifetime for a couple of freewheeling adventurers who are riding on the eek ultimate set of wheels – a sleek stretch limousine. aBut the 1989 white Caor dillac that’s been home for the past two years to Lucas as Cárdenas and Florencia Bra-tovich is hardly the picture of luxury. Outside, the onceshining white paint job is crackled and peeling – a casualty of the road, an-dof four difficult days on n the world’s largest salt flat, Salar de Uyuni, in Bolivia.

And on the inside, instead of plush leather seats and plenty of leg room, there’s a cramped-looking bed next n to a tidy stainless steel sink, one-burner on stove and small cupboards for storage. cu But the road-battled, m muddy machine is home for the pair, who landed in Surrey just in time to join the parade and the classic car show at the Cloverdale Rodeo and Coun Country Fair, May 16 to 19. Since setting out from PataSin goni gonia, in their native Argentina, on Feb. 23, 2012, Cárdenas and Bratovich have visited 17 countries, sightseeing along the way, and amassing a collection of
tiny souvenirs, from dashboard hula girls to eraser-sized models of Aztec pyramids. They plan to arrive at their final destination – Alaska – when they get there. “We are travelling without watches and without cell phones,” Cárdenas told The Reporter. They are cataloguing their exploits on a website – America sin Limites (America without limits) – and on Facebook, where friends old and new are following their adventures, written in Spanish. The pair doesn’t have a set itinerary, preferring to go where the road See FACES / Page 2
