The City of Prince Rupert is likely hoping to keep on with their Award winning ways of late, with the City seemingly having put the recently adopted Transportation Plan, Connect Rupert up for consideration in a Provincial Award program.
The City's wide ranging plans for Transportation were created in partnership with Urban Systems and the project is destined for consideration by the Planning Institute of British Columbia and Yukon, submitted in the Small Town and Rural Category.
The Applications window closed on February 12th, with the Planning Institute to announce the successful list of submissions on April 8th.
The annual competition from the PIBC features six categories towards planning for small and large communities in the province.
The awards will be handed out at the 2024 BC Land Summit in Nanaimo from May 8-10
There has been no official notes related to the submission for consideration released by the City.
However, City Hall already has one backer in hand for their quest for a nomination, the submission was endorsed by North Coast Regional District last week at their Monthly meeting in Prince Rupert.
The Connect Rupert plan was adopted by City Council last summer, it provided guidance for future planning of Transportation initiatives in the City.
You can review the full documentation of the Transportation plan here.
How the various elements of the plan are evolving can be reviewed through the Rupert Talks portal which has a link to their discussion page to the Plan here.
Of note on that ongoing engagement is the current work being done towards a study on making the streets safer for walking and rolling, with the City set to take on an assessment of the road and sidewalk network in the community.
