The City of Richmond invites residents and other interested viewers to explore the interactive 2022 Capital Projects Highlights launched online today. The City’s current priority infrastructure projects, including flood protection, various transportation initiatives and critical building and park upgrades are just a few of the interesting projects people can click through from any digital device, via LetsTalkRichmond.ca, without leaving the comfort of their home.

“Each spring, we’re excited to showcase the ongoing investment the City makes to upgrade and bring new critical infrastructure to Richmond. This year, over $107 million is dedicated to our capital budget,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “The Capital Projects Highlights showcase these projects, endorsed by Council’s Strategic Plan, to build a stronger, more resilient community.”
