New Westminster, BC combines food security and workforce training with Community Therapeutic Garden

The city leased a portion of Ryall Park to the GROWcery Food Network Society for the nine-month pilot. Ryall Park was selected due to its proximity to a housing development for the recently homeless. Twelve participants will be trained in carpentry and landscaping skills as they build two gardens, an orchard, and seating areas. Residents of the Queensborough neighborhood will use the finished garden to grow food and realize the health benefits of outdoor activities.

New Westminster, BC uses AI-enabled traffic cameras for Intelligent Systems Pilot Project

The pilot relies on Miovision SmartView cameras installed at five intersections along Columbia Street. Each camera tracks traffic volume, speed, and arrival at intersections during green lights. City staffers rely on the TrafficLink platform to analyze traffic behaviors along this test corridor. New Westminster will use this data to determine the need for additional smart traffic technologies. The pilot data also informs future road work and transit plans.

New Westminster, BC develops urban solar gardens open to residential and commercial subscribers

The city first developed the 50-kilowatt, 156-panel Queensborough Community Centre garden. A similar garden was later built at the City Public Works Yard. Individuals and businesses can claim up to 10 panels each to offset energy bills. Savings produced by a subscriber's panels are applied to their utility account twice per year. The community solar garden concept reduces the need for subscribers to invest in costly systems of their own.

New Westminster, BC switching public utility to Advanced Metering Infrastructure

The city's electrical utility plans citywide replacement of household meters with wireless AMI devices over a six-month period. Wireless meters allow for real-time usage data that produce accurate bills and encourage energy-efficient behaviors. The data also help utility workers stay ahead of outages and surges. Householders concerned about privacy or wireless communications can opt out of real-time data transfers. This project was delayed until further notice by COVID-19.
