Background Information
The design-build project included two separate urbanization projects, Tyson Road and Keith Wilson Road, to provide enhanced safety, more
efficient vehicular movements and increased pedestrian/cyclist facilities. These facilities will improve safety for all active transportation users. Both projects are high priorities in the City's Active Transportation Plan and are identified as a core route in the City's Cycle Vision Plan.
City staff were successful in obtaining $500,000 grants for both the Tyson Road Project and the Keith Wilson Road Project, for a total of $1,000,000 from the B.C. Active Transportation Infrastructure Grant.
