Plans to reconfigure Second Avenue sometime in the future, will continue moving forward following approval Monday towards seeking out some grant funding for the proposal by Prince Rupert Council.
The Grant funding request was part of a report for Council related to their larger ambitions towards the City's Active Transportation Network Planning.
There was no formal presentation towards the Grant request, the City Manager noting during the introduction of the Report, that staff were ready to answer any questions that Council may have to the topic,
Council members however, had no questions towards the Grant proposal for staff for Monday's session.
Mayor Brain did make note as to how he views the initiative as one which would be a huge project for the community, the Mayor following up on his observation by asking the City Manager if the Ministry of Highways had any position on the Second Avenue reconfiguration plans.

In Reply, City Manger, Mr. Rob Buchan noted that the City is still working with the province towards the proposed reconfiguration.
"We are still working with them, it's all positive. We're moving forward with expectations that the concept that we've worked out with them thus far, will be approved conceptually in the near future"
