These estimates are essential to determine the evolution of the risks posed by climate change on various infrastructures in the coming decades, in order to identify the measures to be put in place to reduce these risks and the negative impacts to come, and thus ensure a level acceptable performance in the medium and long term.

During our Community engagement for the Witset Active Transportation Plan, the amount of pedestrian use of the highway was particularly concerning as major safety concerns were highlighted such as low lighting and speeding vehicles. As such, creating a safe pedestrian path along highway 16 through the village is of highest priority. This project will construct a 470m long, 3m wide, asphalt paved multi-use path along Hwy 16; a part of Hwy that is widely use by the community to get to the canyon and smoke house to do their cultural activities and traditional fishing. The project will also generate signage, benches and animal proof garbage bins.

The projected significant increase in the seniors population, current lack of capacity in facilities and programs, and feedback from community members, staff and stakeholders all indicate that there is a need for a new seniors centre in South Vancouver/Sunset.

This Project will support improved access to and/or increased quality of community, cultural, and/or recreational infrastructure.
