Three building were demolished within a few days of each other in Langley City earlier this month.

Two of the sites – one the former location of a combined car wash and oil change business, and the other an ageing social housing building – were torn down to make way for new residential projects, while the owner of the third site, a one-storey building used to house several businesses, was expected to file a development permit application later this year.

At the former Washworld and Jiffy L**e location in the 20100 block of Fraser Hwy., developer Whitetail Homes is planning to build a new six-storey mixed-use apartment building, with construction expected to begin later this year. That’s according to information provided by the City in response to an Langley Advance Times query.

On the fourth day of a continued air quality advisory in the Lower Mainland there’s some relief in the air.

Air quality readings improved overnight across the region, even in the Eastern Fraser Valley where smoke concentrations were forecast to be ‘moderate’ Tuesday (Aug. 22), as opposed to ‘very high’ risk, as they have been for several days since smoke and fine particulates from B.C. wildfires moved in.

The air quality advisory is over however for Metro Vancouver’s southwest, said the update from Environment Canada. It was first announced on Aug. 19 and was to remain in effect until further notice.

Air quality advisory cancelled for Metro Vancouver’s southwest area only
