Draft Active Transportation Network Plan Released For Electoral Area C

The Strathcona Regional District has released a draft Active Transportation Network Plan for Electoral Area C, focusing on enhancing transportation options for residents through walking, cycling, and wheeling.

The draft provides a strategy to improve active transportation conditions on Quadra Island and its connections to outer communities that align with the policy goals, objectives and targets that are most important to the community.

It maps out priority network improvement projects aimed at increasing safety, removing or minimizing barriers, and facilitating connectivity across the community for people walking, cycling, and wheeling.

The plan includes Electoral Area C’s community profile and existing active transportation conditions and infrastructure, a vision and goals for the long-term active transportation network, priority corridors and infrastructure projects, and funding and partnership opportunities.

The SRD will be holding a second round of engagements to ensure the draft reflects the needs and aspirations of the community.

Public input will help refine the draft and prioritize projects for future investment, including the selection of one top priority project to apply for funding through the B.C. Active Transportation Infrastructure Grant program.

You can find the draft and offer input at Strathcona Regional District, where the survey will be up until January 31st.

There will be a drop in session on Wednesday, January 29th from 5pm to 8pm at the Quadra Island Community Centre.
