TerraceBC unsuccessful at getting grants for Lanfear Hill, roundabout
The City of Terrace’s ambitious plans to improve the road going up Lanfear Hill, change traffic patterns at the top by constructing a roundabout and making things better for pedestrians and cyclists at the top of the hill have stalled for now because the city’s applications for two senior government grants to help finance the desired work have been turned down.
But should the day come when the city can acquire the money it needs, detailed construction plans will be in place, he added. Letters sent to the city giving it the bad news about the grant applications noted there were more requests for money then could be satisfied. Staffers last year projected an expenditure of $6.5 million to cover everything from a crosswalk at the bottom of Lanfear Hill to the safer and wider pathway for pedestrians and cyclists, to safer vehicle lanes up the hill to a roundabout at the top of the hill.
At one time the city unsuccessfully applied for a federal $10 million grant for a wholesale reconstruction of the hill.
