Grants and Contributions

This project consists of raising and solidifying the Broughdale Dyke to protect low density residential, high density residential, and institutional areas against more severe flooding events. Once complete, the Project is expected to increase the resilience of the Broughdale neighbourhood against climate change-driven floods.

This project will re-construct a 1.2km section of Jasper Avenue between 114 Street to 124 Street in Edmonton to include design elements that enhance the pedestrian experience.

This project involves the construction of pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure on Dudley Street between Dawes Avenue and Spadina Crescent. This connection was identified as a high priority for the bicycle network in the Active Transportation Plan. It will connect residential neighbourhoods with both employment areas such as the West Industrial Area and recreation and park spaces and the Meewasin river valley trail network.

Project components include:
• Two pedestrian and cyclist-activated signals: 1) at Dudley Street and Dawes Avenue, and 2) Dudley Street and Avenue P.
• One kilometre of multi-use pathway on the south side of Dudley Street in the industrial area from Dawes Avenue to Avenue P South including vertical curb and drainage upgrades.
• 800 metres of neighbourhood bikeway (also known as bike boulevard) on Dudley Street in the residential area from Avenue P to Spadina Crescent which will feature: Curb extensions and Raised crosswalks
• 1.25 kilometres of additional sidewalk; and
• All applicable signage and pavement markings for the new cycling facility on Dudley Street.

The Town proposes to construct a separated walkway adjacent to the newly constructed Memorial Roundabout at the intersection of Memorial Road and Highway 19A to create separation for pedestrians and cyclists and minimize conflicts.

The Town has invested heavily in active transportation networks over the years, especially those that connect the uptown and waterfront. The Memorial / 19A route is pivotal to this connection. It is heavily traveled by visitors and residents throughout the year, and all traffic must travel through the newly created roundabout to reach their destination. It is also the first experience of the waterfront for tourists, and acts as the gateway to our prized beach. A separated walkway and viewing platform therefore brings cohesion to the Town’s active transportation investments in this area, and will increase safety, accessibility, and ultimately increase usage

The City of Grande Prairie recognizes and encourages the value of outdoor recreation and staying active outdoors year round. The City boast an excellent trail system and has over 110 kilometers of asphalt, gravel, and natural trails to explore, with designated loops in several areas of the City. This project will provide signage in residential and commercial areas of the City, connecting residents and visitors to the trail system from both arterial and non-arterial roads. Assisting residents and visitors to find the trail system will encourage them to walk or ride to the trail system, promoting not only health and wellbeing, but access to pedestrian trails that are maintained regularly and intended for walking or riding in a natural setting. Trail systems also promote environmental awareness and allow those of all ages, abilities, and socio-economic status to participate. The project will improve active transportation connectivity and accessibility for all.

Laying the Foundation for AT Infrastructure in Nova Scotia is about supporting smaller communities, with limited staff and resources, in beginning the process of drafting active transportation plans and identifying shovel-worthy projects for future development. The project will consist of 3 initiatives: 1) Nova Scotia's Active Transportation Future is an ArcGIS web app that presents the state of active transportation planning across the province at-a-glance. 2) Roadmaps to AT Plans is a stakeholder engagement program that will meet with municipal staff, band councils, elected officials, community members and groups to identify barriers and next steps to drafting AT plans in 1-2 communities. 3) How to Engage with Public Engagement will develop educational materials that demystify the common transportation planning workflow, set realistic expectations of information available at each stage, and provide curated tools and resources for communicating design ideas visually without needing any prior experience.

The project seeks to provide flood and drought risk hazard protection in the Mississippi Valley watershed through replacing a dam at Kashwakamak lake. This would mitigate the risk of dam overtopping and dam failure, which have been exacerbated by more frequent and more severe extreme weather events. Additionally, the project will significantly reduce economic losses and disruptions in the community that are created by both flooding and water shortages.

This project will improve on existing and build up new flood protection assets along the banks of Hay River west channel in order to protect the Village of West Point First Nation and the Town of Hay River. Once complete, the project will mitigate the impacts of future flooding events related to climate change.

This project seeks to implement a green network that will revitalize a range of natural infrastructure, connect residents to nature, protect biodiversity, and increase climate resilience, with the objective of reducing flooding risks, emissions and pollutants, while improving natural habitats, biodiversity and residents’ access to nature.
