The grant also emphasizes partnerships with local stakeholders and community engagement to improve our transportation options. BCDOT community partners for this project include Bikemore(External link), Black People Ride Bikes(External link), and Graham Projects(External link).

Roadway improvements form the grant include:

This is a quick build project leveraging existing plans and meant to serve as an intermediate step for longer term improvements. The roadway projects will be paired with community engagement for public art and fun bike/walk safety events led by the project’s community partners.
