2. Free Event! 
Safety Workshop and Ride (HUB Richmond/YVR Local Committee)

Join us for a summer ride to help celebrate Bike to Shop week and see some Richmond scenery on your bike! A HUB instructor will start us off with some brief information on basic bike safety and route planning.  You can come for the short workshop only or join us for an easy 1 ½ hr ride afterward, showcasing some Richmond route highlights. Refreshments will be provided at the end of the ride.

To help us plan how much food to prepare, we'll send out a registration link for the event next week. Please register if you would like to secure some food, otherwise, just show up. We hope to see you there!

Hi there,

We wanted to give you a heads up of some work happening that will include a road diversion on Inglis Drive near the South Terminal. Cyclists will be able to use the road, as there will be bike/pedestrian lanes on both sides, and vehicles will need to reduce speed to 30 km/h in that section. You can find more information about this project below:

Project Overview

We are removing and replacing Flood Box E (i.e., the drainage system) off Inglis Drive, which provides access to our South Terminal. This replacement will provide flood mitigation and increase climate resilience on Sea Island.

This project requires a temporary reconfiguration of Inglis Drive to ensure construction has complete access to the flood box and discharge pipes in the area.

Please be advised, the reconfigured roadway with a reduced speed limit of 30 km/h will open on the morning of August 8th, 2022 and will be in place until early 2023. We have a traffic management plan in place to ensure a smooth transition.

Proposed Schedule

Work on this project starts in the summer of 2022 and working hours are from 7 a.m.- 5 p.m. Completion of the project is scheduled for early 2023.

Construction Activities

To minimize the impact to operations, the contractor will be working within the construction site. Activities include:

  • Demolition and installation of a new flood box and outlet;
  • Constructing a new temporary roadway, and pedestrian/bike lanes on both sides of the road; and
  • Returning the roadway to the original state.

 

We thank you for your patience while we conduct this work.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
