Steveston will have another traffic calming pilot on the August long weekend.

Moncton Street will be closed and Bayview Street will be one-way between No. 1 Road and Third Avenue from Saturday morning to Monday evening, Aug. 1 to Aug. 3.

While a suggestion to continue this traffic calming during the entire month of August was rejected by the majority, council supported investing up to $35,000 to allow it during the long weekend to allow for more physical distancing.

The funds will come from council’s contingency fund.

City staff will prepare budget estimates on what the two traffic-calming ideas would cost for next week’s general purposes meeting.
