An overview of Strathcona Regional District and Electoral Area C.

The Strathcona Regional District (SRD) announced the release of the draft Active Transportation Network Plan (ATNP) for Electoral Area C focused on enhancing transportation options for residents through walking, cycling, and wheeling.

This initiative is supported by funding from the Province of BC’s Active Transportation Infrastructure Grants Program, which aligns with the CleanBC commitment to increase alternative transportation solutions.

The draft ATNP 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. The draft plan identifies and 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.

Developed through engagement with the public, key interest groups, and First Nations, the plan includes:

  • Electoral Area C’s community profile and existing active transportation conditions and infrastructure
  • Vision and goals for the long-term active transportation network
  • Long-term active transportation network map
  • Priority corridors and projects
  • Priority spot and infrastructure projects
  • Funding and partnership opportunities

The SRD will conduct a second round of engagements to ensure the draft ATNP reflects the needs and aspirations of the community. Public input received will help refine the draft ATNP 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.
