The building up of Maple Ridge’s downtown is continuing as council considers a proposal for a five-storey building on Royal Crescent, just south of Lougheed Highway on 226th Street.

Long-term bicycle parking would allow 12 bikes to be stored on an indefinite basis and another 14 bicycles in short-term storage spots. There would also be space for another 16 bikes at the front of the building. There would also be a separate bicycle storage room in the underground parking area.
