The District of Metchosin is asking residents to complete a survey to help it develop an active transportation plan.
“We’ve had input from residents, whether they walk, roll or ride horseback, who would like to see improved safety and connectivity throughout the community,” said Metchosin councillor Sharie Epp in an email. “We hope as many residents as possible will respond to the survey to help the district set priorities and make decisions.”
Survey responses will help Metchosin identify thoroughfares, such as school routes and connections between existing trails, that residents think should better accommodate folks travelling by active means. These responses will then inform long-term investments in active transportation infrastructure.
“The main roads we have are getting busier and busier, particularly with the influx of people who come here from Langford and Colwood,” Epp added. “Our roads are ... less safe than they were.”
The survey is available to Metchosin residents from now until Monday, Oct. 7.
