Active transportation projects near schools coming to Langford [Video]

Eight active transportation-related infrastructure projects are now on the books in Langford, all of which are centred around schools within the municipality.

“These projects will provide safer routes to school and overall connectivity for the residents throughout the city,” said Scott Goodmanson, the mayor of Langford.

The projects include infill sidewalk expansions, bike lanes, and in some cases, improved lighting and street parking.

“If we can provide these networks and these paths that will help provide safer routes for people throughout the day and night, then this is a win-win for everyone,” said Goodmanson.

The projects will be rolled out in two phases. The first phase is expected to cost nearly $3.2 million and be complete by the end of 2024.

During that phase, Treanor Avenue connecting Lakewood Elementary School will see sidewalks, additional street lighting and drainage improvements.

Atkins Road near Savory Elementary School will also get sidewalks.
