Funding Applications to B.C. Active Transportation Infrastructure Grants Program

This Vancouver City Council report addresses funding applications for the B.C. Active Transportation Infrastructure Grants Program, focusing on two key projects:

• Granville Bridge Connector: A $19 million project for active mobility enhancements, including a larger walking area, a protected cycling path, and signalized pedestrian crossings. The city seeks $500,000 in funding to support signalization components.
• Drake Street Upgrades: A $4.4 million project to improve east-west connectivity in the Downtown Bike Network, enhancing safety and accessibility. The city has applied for $500,000 to support this project.

Both initiatives align with the city's Transportation 2040 and Climate Emergency Action plans, aiming to promote active transportation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
