The city of Vancouver is reviving a program that provides grant funding for road projects that slow traffic in residential areas after taking a pause in a volatile 2020.
The Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program will allocate an estimated $300,000 to competitive grant applications in 2021. It was suspended last year due to COVID-19 and a since-overturned voter initiative that would have stripped the city of a portion of its transportation funds.
