Ecological Impact In addition to providing a MUP for various modes of active transportation, the Railway Greenway serves as an ecological conidor, as noted in the City's Ecological Network Management Strategy. It is an important piece of green infrastructure that offers ecosystem services, including but not limited to stonnwater management, provision of food and wildlife habitat, reducing the urban heat island effect, etc. It enhances the City's ecological network by creating a continuous green linkage between the south and middle arm of the Fraser River that facilitates the movement of animals, nutrients and energy. !flighting is implemented along the Railway Greenway, staff will assess and bring forward measures to mitigate negative effects on wildlife and ensure the continued provision of habitat and ecosystem services within the cmTidor. Associated Costs As noted above, PBX has developed a cost estimate for approximately $1.3 7 million to implement the recommended lighting approach along the Railway Greenway.
