Staff seeking grant funding for Otter Point Road Active Transportation Corridor

The Otter Point Active Transportation Corridor is inclusive of bike lanes, sidewalks, boulevard improvements, lighting, and pavement resurfacing on both sides of the corridor.

This project is included in the 5-year financial plan for construction in 2024; however, a significant grant opportunity to fund the majority of this project was presented for Council consideration at the January 25th Regular Council Meeting. Staff are proceeding with direction and support from Council to apply the COVID-19 Resilience Infrastructure Stream through the Canada Infrastructure Program. The grant submission deadline is January 27, 2021. Grant status notification should be received on/around April 2021. If successful, the project will begin in summer 2021 with a target competition date of October 31, 2021.

The District will be consulting neighbouring property owners to determine changes in access and communicate impacts and opportunities. Neighbouring property owners can expect the District to connect with them by Thursday, February 4th, 2021.
