The third and final round of community engagement for the City of Parksville’s transportation master plan project is underway and the city is looking for feedback.
The city hopes its phase 3 online survey will help determine if it's "on the right track", according to a news release.
The survey may be accessed from Let’s Talk Parksville and the city’s website until Nov. 3. Comments provided in this survey will help the city to better understand residents' priorities.
The information presented at an open house on Oct. 1 is available on Let’s Talk Parksville.
The insights and feedback from the previous two engagement phases were used to generate recommendations for improvements to the transportation network, which also includes costing and implementation-planning, to be incorporated in the final transportation master plan document.
The city began developing a transportation master plan in 2023, completing two phases of community engagement in November 2023 and April 2024.
This plan will serve as a guiding strategic document to address current and future needs for all modes (auto, pedestrian, transit, cycling and micro-mobility) along with emergency services and goods movement to support the objectives of the city’s Official Community Plan.
The goal is to provide a safe, efficient and accessible transportation network to support a high quality of life for residents and efficient mobility for all.
"Our thanks to everyone who participated in the first two phases of community engagement for Parksville’s transportation master plan project," the city stated in the release.
During phase 2, more than 800 people shared their transportation experiences and ideas.
The results of phase 1 and 2 may be reviewed on Let’s Talk Parksville. There are two ways to complete this survey — online and paper version.
Print the survey or obtain a paper copy from the City of Parksville (100 Jensen Ave. E).
Please return completed survey to the city by Nov. 3.
