BCAN is excited to announce that we have won $150,000 for our campaign to install bus benches around the City through the Participatory Budgeting Program. 🎉 Out of 14 ideas, our proposal placed 6th and received 1,505 votes.

Every resident in a good job to… 🌳 Maintain our urban forests and parks 🚗 Install electric vehicle chargers 🏢 Improve building energy efficiency …is a resident that isn’t in a gang or living on the street. Climate action means building wealth AND improving public safety.
