Vancouver Reporter

As part of the 2022 Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program (NTCP), the City of Vancouver is pleased to announce that four neighborhood traffic calming

projects will be funded to help address traffic concerns and speeding within residential communities. This competitive program allows community

members to advocate for traffic calming along neighborhood streets in Vancouver.

Eight neighborhood project proposals were advanced as part of the program for 2022, and four of those projects were awarded funding as part of the

City of Vancouver’s NTCP. Developed with the support of the community-led Neighborhood Traffic Safety Alliance, the City’s NTCP helps residents

improve neighborhood livability and calm traffic by championing project proposals.

Projects awarded funding as part of the 2022 program are:

Most projects are slated for construction during the late summer and fall of 2023. Funding for the NTCP is available through a combination of Real

Estate Excise Tax, Transportation Benefit District fees and multiple other revenue sources, providing an approximate budget of $300,000 for this year’s

program. Project costs are coordinated through several different strategies and partnerships within City departments to maximize cost efficiencies.

Neighborhood traffic calming projects for 2023

The City of Vancouver and Neighborhood Traffic Safety Alliance invite community members to propose project locations and support projects through a

competitive selection process for funding and implementation. City staff continue to explore program requirements, guidelines and funding efficiencies as

we look at options to best support this neighborhood program and continue its success into the future.
