The top one is the closest to the one I made. It could either be new municipalities, or all a giant "Vancouver" with the individual places as boroughs as you suggested. The difference is I split Surrey up, cause Surrey doesn't make much sense to me.
North Delta is Surrey.
South Surrey is White Rock.
Cloverdale/Clayton is Langley.
At least in my head. Basically because of the way the ALR sets those urban areas apart from each other.
So I made an amalgamation plan that reflects that.
Other changes include Richmond taking Annacis Island and Queensborough, Vancouver consolidating with UBC, Burnaby and New West, the North Shore consolidating, the Tri-Cities + Belcarra & Anmore consolidating, and Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge consolidating.
The one thing I don't know is what to do with Aldergrove. It really belongs with Abbotsford, but its existing membership in Metro Vancouver complicated that I think.
