The Announcement on the Transition Prince Rupert website outlined the new partnership between the two organizations which will now allow for the Complete Streets project to apply for funding through Transition Prince Rupert's organizational umbrella, as they work towards seeking improvement of the city's streets and community neighbourhoods.
Transition Prince Rupert recently completed work on the first stage of their ambitious McKay Street Park renovation program, with the installation of a playground accessed through money received as part of the BCAA Play Here competition of last year.The organization is looking to install a linear dog park as the next project for the McKay Street site, with fundraising currently underway for that initiative.
Complete Streets has been advocating for a number of traffic calming measures through the downtown area. In February, the organizations lead member Chris Lightfoot appeared in front of City Council to outline a range of safety features it wishes to test out in the city.
