Several projects were identified for design and/or construction in 2025, including: 

  • Alberni Highway sidewalk and active transportation improvements from Stanford Avenue West to Lee Avenue 
  • Stanford Avenue East utility replacement and road reconstruction, McCarter to Shelly 
  • Parksville pathway project 
  • Jensen Avenue West utility and road renewal with sidewalk addition 
  • Bus stop improvements

The master plan is a guiding strategic document to address current and future needs for automobiles, pedestrians, transit, and cyclists to help support the Official Community Plan. 

The goal of the plan is to provide a safe and accessible transportation network for residents and efficient mobility for all.
