Mary Hill Bypass RFP

There are RFPs for a flyover to get left turning traffic from Mary Hill Bypass onto Shaughnessy in PoCo RFP is on hold in advance of actually receiving the proposals.

PoMo chicanes

Bi-directional bike lane near Christmas Way

Coquitlam did RFP for bi directional bike lane on Lougheed near Christmas Way, rather than waiting for the Marcon development.
