Description:
The City of New Westminster in Metro Vancouver has built off the success of road reallocation projects during the COVID-19 pandemic to fast track the design and implementation of the interim Agnes Greenway. The fast-tracked approach makes use of an interim facility installed in December 2020 prior to engaging the public allowing informed feedback to shape the ultimate design. Learn from the experiences of the project team that has designed and built this Greenway and how this approach may be suited to future projects.
