CHILLIWACK – The B.C. government is providing $26,323 in funding to support the Boundary Road Shoulder Bike Way project in Chilliwack. There will be an 800 metre bike lane on the east side of the road from Yarrow Central Road to No. 3 Road. This complements the existing bikeway on the west side of the road, encouraging cyclists to ride on the correct side of the road.
