Bike lanes still just a dream Danielle Pope News staff

Sitting pretty Municipal clerk Sarah Gaudet makes the most of the warm August weather and enjoys her lunch break and a quick read in the sunshine at the back of Oak Bay municipal hall.
Peddling residents hoping to see Cadboro Bay Road adopt bike lanes will have to wait a little longer for any official word. Members of the committee of the whole decided to turn the proposition into a public consultation process on Monday, Aug. 12, and took no action on moving forward with the lanes at this time. “We wanted to create a public process to invite input from a variety of groups as well as the public to understand what people would like to see in terms of bike infrastructure,” said Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen. The lanes, which have come up in consultation as part of the Oak Bay High school redevelopment project, would span from Foul Bay Road to Cranmore Road along Cadboro Bay, and criss-cross the high school. Last January, School District 61 hired Boulevard Transportation Group to conduct the study, which included a look at traffic impact, parking, demand management and construction management.
