Council also authorized staff to apply to the BC Active Transportation Grant Program for the 208 St Cycling Improvements Project. TransLink contributed $1.67 million to help fund this $2.22 million project which will fill in the gap of bike lanes between Fraser Highway and 52 A Avenue.
Council authorized staff to apply to the UBCM Local Government Development Approvals Program for a $150,000 grant to cover the cost of creating a Major Storm Overland Flow Path Mapping. This mapping will help speed up development applications while ensuring that developer-provided infrastructure and City-owned infrastructure will handle a 100-year storm event. Given the impacts of climate change, this is critical as these 100-year events are now becoming 10-year events.
