VICTORIA – BC NDP MLA Nina Krieger says more people in Victoria will be able to safely and conveniently choose active transportation to get around, thanks to provincial funding.

“I’m excited to see improvements to both the Cook Street and Blanshard Street Multi-Modal Corridors” said Nina Krieger, MLA for Victoria-Swan Lake. “These upgrades will increase connectivity across Victoria’s cycling network so that more people will be able to get around using active transportation.”

Victoria is receiving $1 million for two projects:

• Cook Street North Multi-Modal Corridor Improvements – 1.8km of complete streets that expands the AAA cycling network and provides accessibility and pedestrian improvements
• Blanshard Street North Multi-Modal Corridor Improvements – 608m of complete streets that expands Victoria’s AAA cycling network by upgrading narrow painted bike lanes to wider protected lanes and a fully protected intersection at Bay Street

The Active Transportation Infrastructure Grants program funds Indigenous, local, and regional governments with cost-sharing investments of up to $500,000 for infrastructure projects and as much as $50,000 in funding to develop active transportation network plans.

These grants support projects that help improve connections to employment, education, transit, and recreational centres around the province, helping people use active transportation options safely and efficiently in their communities.
