Unallocated Pedestrian Improvement Budget

Low Emissions Transportation and Mobility City Council consideration on Dec 5, 2022

Background

Funding pedestrian infrastructure from the Strategic Infrastructure Reserve supports climate policies with practical infrastructure that removes physical barriers to walking, cutting transportation emissions. Several projects were completed that included such improvements as raised crosswalks, curb ramps, tactile walking surface indicators, and pedestrian flashers. The city was also able to secure matching funding from the BC Active Transportation Infrastructure Grant.

Item Description

It was moved and seconded that Council increase the unallocated pedestrian improvement budget from $300,000 to $1,000,000 for 2023, funded from the Strategic Infrastructure Reserve.

Votes cast ‘In Favour’ are labeled as 'Climate-Positive' for the climate.
