City of Nanaimo Community Engagement: Woodgrove Area Plan
Graphic from City of Nanaimo.
The City of Nanaimo is seeking feedback for it’s Woodgrove Area Plan. This plan will have significant impact on important active transit infrastructure in the area.
With a few exceptions like Metal Drive, the Woodgrove area lacks adequate infrastructure for cyclists and active transit users.
We’re asking our members and supporters to take the survey and ensure that the voices of cyclists and vulnerable road users are heard. This ensures safe infrastructure is top of mind for decision makers and planners.

Roy is a Sustainable Transportation Specialist with ISL Engineering and Land Services Ltd. where he works with cities to plan and design better active transportation facilities and safer streets.
