Campbell River Master Transportation Plan Update

The City of Campbell River is preparing for a workshop in the coming months for Council to further explore, review, and finalize the City’s Master Transportation Plan.

Staff and Council are in the process of finalizing the MTP, a long-term strategy to improve mobility, safety, and accessibility across the city’s transportation network.

The plan outlines infrastructure priorities over the next 10 years, organized into short (1 to 3 years), medium (4 to 7 years), and long-term (8 to 10 years) actions.

Priorities were based on feasibility, community needs, safety, and development potential.

Key short-term priorities outlined in the current draft include new sidewalks on 2nd and 7th Avenues and connections on 9th Avenue and Pinecrest Road; neighbourhood bikeways on Birch Street, and the Thulin/Murphy/Galerno corridor, and Cheviot Road; multi-use pathways from McPhedran to 4th Avenue and the Strathcona Gardens connector, and transit improvements along the Dogwood corridor.

Staff are also exploring a potential new Highway 19 connection at Evergreen or Merecroft Road, and updates to bicycle parking requirements, the

Traffic Management Policy, downtown parking study, and EV charging network analysis.
