An Open House goes tonight for Courtenay residents to provide input on traffic calming design concepts for 1st Street between Menzies and Keeneland Avenues.

The City’s Traffic Calming Guide and Policy was adopted in fall 2024 in response to community concerns about speeding, noise and traffic-related safety in residential areas.

It provides a structured, data-driven framework for evaluating and prioritizing traffic calming requests.

Four key intersections have been considered for traffic calming upgrades:

• Menzies Avenue and 1st Street
• Woods Avenue and 1st Street
• Lost Creek Lane (Puntledge Park frontage)
• Keeneland Avenue and 1st Street

Residents can view potential design concepts and speak with project staff at Puntledge Park Elementary School from 5-7 p.m.

A short online survey is also available until March 9 at City of Courtenay.
