Busy Douglas corridor needs active transit fix: residents Daniel Palmer News staff
Members of Mount View Colquitz Community Association (MVCCA) are hosting an allday open house to get people thinking about pedestrian and cycling-friendly infrastructure in the Douglas corridor. Dubbed Uptown-Douglas Corridor: From Nowhere Special to Someplace Great, the all-day event is meant to foster discussion through small group dialogue sessions and presentations, said Susan Belford, MVCCA president. “Mount View Colquitz represents three Saanich neighbourhoods, including the Saanich core,” Belford said. “Our community could be a wonderful example of the walkable city if there was better infrastructure to allow cyclists and pedestrians to safely cross and connect with the many major roads and arterials that surround and bisect the area.” Bedford said the “visionary” event will be useful as the District embarks on local area plan updates in March and April. Coun. Vic Derman will also discuss his vision of the future in a presentation entitled “The Natural City.” “Our community association is very strongly impacted by major roads and highways,” she said. “We felt because BC Transit, Saanich and the CRD have all done different initiatives looking at the Saanich core, we thought it would be good to stimulate some conversation.” The event takes place at the Garth Homer Auditorium, 813 Darwin Ave. on Feb. 21 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, visit mountviewcolquitz.ca.
