This project provided pedestrians and cyclists with an alternative path so they can avoid walking or cycling along the highway. Additionally, youth e-bikes were purchased to promote trail usage.
The Cayoose community does not have any significant signage promoting the "River Trail" or how to use the trail safely and according to Cayoose Creek designated Usage. This River Trail has the potential to deter pedestrians from travelling on Highway 99 and promote a well-shaded, safer way to reach key locations within the community (e.g., the band office, chevron gas station, 5 plex, 3 plex). It is also a trail to ride a bike or take a beautiful walk/run along the Lower Seton Spawning Channel. The new trail promoted physical activities along with Bike share program.
This project is amazing everyone loves the bikes, parents at times seem to have more fun than the children. The project promoted physical, emotional, and mental wellness. It was amazing to see families together having fun. It was great for the kids to get out during spring break!! Sekw'el'was thanks Vision Zero BC for the opportunity, we are grateful!!
