We Want to Hear From You! Public Engagement is now Open!
Active transportation means getting around using one's own energy, including activities like walking, cycling, jogging, skateboarding, inline skating or traveling using a non-motorized wheelchair, scooter, or other active mobility options.
Active transportation infrastructure projects aim to create key safety-focused connections that are healthy, enjoyable, and convenient for people of all ages and abilities, such as multi-use pathways, raised sidewalks, protected bike lanes, and traffic calming measures. Supporting active transportation projects and initiatives is an important step in encouraging people to be active and enjoy the outdoors while travelling and providing the infrastructure to do so comfortably. Providing more active transportation options for everyone will also support efforts to reduce traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions by reducing car dependency as the city grows.
The development of an Active Transportation Plan in parallel with a Transportation Master Plan is a key priority under Council's Strategic Plan.
Current Project Currently, the Latoria Active Transportation Infrastructure Project is being expedited ahead of the City’s Active Transportation Plan because the new elementary school is set to open in September 2025. This work aligns with Colwood’s ultimate road cross-section for Latoria Road, and the BC Active Transportation Design Guide, which aims to create safe pedestrian and bike routes in South Langford, for all ages and abilities.
While this project emphasizes active transportation, it is also anticipated to alleviate road congestion, leading to less traffic and improved driving conditions.
This project has three phases:
Phase One Phase one of this project will commence in 2025, subject to our successful BC Active Transportation Grant application and will include:
Protected bike lanes on both sides of Latoria Road from Triangle Trail to Whimfield Terrace.
The addition of sidewalk on one side of Latoria Road, starting on the south side from the existing sidewalk, east of Pritchard Creek Road to Klahanie Drive, and switching to the north side at the new elementary school from Klahanie Drive to the existing pathway connection to Whimfield Terrace.
This network will provide residents with safe routes to the new elementary school expected to open in September 2025. Given that many families live near the school and aren't eligible for bus services, the City understands that offering various alternative routes to school can help ease congestion during peak hours.
Phase two and three will connect sidewalks, from Whimfield Terrace to the Colwood Border, and from Happy Valley Road to Pritchard Creek Road, respectively.
The City of Langford is currently in phase one and is seeking public feedback to support its BC Active Transportation Infrastructure Grant and requests residents to provide their input by end of day, October 22nd, 2024 by:
Completing a short survey located at LetsChatLangford.ca
Attending the Langford Fire Department Open House, October 6, 2024, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., 2625 Peatt Road
Attending the October 21st Council Meeting to provide input during public participation
We look forward to hearing from you!
