The City of Campbell River is in the final stage of updating its Master Transportation Plan.

Community members are invited to drop by the Maritime Heritage Centre (621 Island Highway) on Tuesday, April 30th, from 4 to 7 p.m. for an open house to review the draft Master Transportation Plan.

The draft plan includes priority infrastructure projects and policies in six categories: walking and rolling, cycling, transit, streets and connections, parking and transportation demand management, and emerging mobility.

“The City’s goal is to work towards a community where residents have transportation options that are safe, comfortable, affordable and accessible to all ages and all abilities,” says Melissa Heidema, the City’s Transportation Specialist.

“We want to ensure that we are planning for future transportation needs of all residents in a financially sound, environmentally friendly and socially responsible way.”

For residents unable to make the open house, a survey will be available online and at City Hall, the Community Centre, and the Sportsplex from April 30th to May 30th.

BC Transit reps will also be there to discuss future transit needs and priorities as it works to identify service gaps and begin work on the Transit Future Action Plan for Campbell River. 

Starting April 29th and running until May 12th, BC Transit's survey will be open for feedback at BC Transit.

To view the draft Master Transportation Plan, learn more about the process, and complete the survey, visit Get Involved Campbell River.
