Surrey, B.C. — August 23, 2026 – Residents in Surrey City Centre are raising concerns about what they describe as persistent and increasingly disruptive late-night vehicle noise around King George Station, King George Boulevard and 100 Avenue.
Uzay Yildirim, a Surrey City Centre resident, says loud cars and motorcycles are regularly disturbing residents during late-night and early-morning hours. The reported disturbances include engine revving, unusually loud exhaust systems, sudden hard acceleration and vehicles that appear to repeatedly circle or return to the same streets.
Yildirim says the issue has received attention in the past, but believes the problem has become more frequent and disruptive.
“Residents around King George Station, King George Boulevard and 100 Avenue are regularly exposed to extremely loud cars and motorcycles during late-night and early-morning hours,” Yildirim said in a letter to Surrey News BC.
The concern is particularly significant in Surrey City Centre, where numerous residential towers are concentrated around major roads and transit hubs. Residents say loud bursts of engine and exhaust noise can travel across a large area and disturb many people within seconds.
Yildirim, who lives on the 30th floor near King George Station, said the noise can be heard even under conditions that would normally reduce outside sound.
“These vehicles can still be loud enough to wake me with the windows closed, earplugs in and white noise playing,” he said.
According to Yildirim, the disturbances can have a significant impact on families with young children, seniors, students, shift workers and residents who need to wake early for work.
He said he has contacted municipal officials, police, bylaw officials and elected representatives, asking that the issue remain on record and that practical measures such as targeted late-night monitoring and enforcement be considered around King George Boulevard, 100 Avenue and the streets surrounding King George Station.
Yildirim is also calling for greater public attention to the issue to determine how widespread the problem is and whether other residents are experiencing similar disturbances.
The concern, he emphasized, is not about ordinary vehicle traffic, but repeated and avoidable bursts of extreme engine and exhaust noise during overnight hours.
As Surrey City Centre continues to grow rapidly and more residents move into high-density residential buildings, residents are calling for practical measures to protect nighttime peace and livability in the area.
