Today, the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities, announced a federal investment of $90,000 to support two active transportation projects in New Brunswick.
The Town of Woodstock is receiving $50,000 to support the creation of an active transportation plan, which will enable it to further develop its transportation policies and help prioritize the construction of new infrastructure. The plan will provide a guide for improving the existing network to address road safety concerns and meet the needs of the residents and visitors.
The Village of Cambridge-Narrows is receiving $40,000 to support the assessment of the current active transportation system to identify potential and appropriate improvements to the community's infrastructure. By obtaining community input and assessing the current active transportation system, the Village will develop short- and long-term plans to support sustainable transportation and active lifestyles.
Funding announced today supports Canada's National Active Transportation Strategy by expanding networks of pathways, bike lanes, trails and pedestrian bridges, in addition to supporting active transportation planning and stakeholder engagement activities.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country's economy, increasing the resiliency of our communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
