Richmond goes online to showcase 2020 capital projects

12 August 2020

Better transit access, crucial water management upgrades and facility infrastructure improvements are just a few of the interesting capital projects people can explore without leaving the comfort of their home.

The City of Richmond’s popular Capital Projects Highlights showcase has gone digital, providing a convenient online method to view the many on-going and upcoming capital projects taking place across the City.

Capital Projects Highlights 2020

The public is invited to visit bit.ly/RmdCapitalProjects and start exploring some of the major projects taking place to advance the City’s strategies including sustainability and safety while building a stronger, more resilient community.

Usually presented in a popular, interactive open house at City Hall, this year’s online highlights share the same level of information by using existing City technology – LetsTalkRichmond.ca and the City’s geographic information system (GIS.)
