Widening will allow separate paths for cyclists and pedestrians. Selkirk Trestle to Grange Road on Galloping Goose; Switch Bridge to McKenzie/Borden on Lochside.
The Capital Regional District Board is about to shed a little light on its trail system after unanimously approving a $53.5 million regional trails widening and lighting project.
“This, as board members know, has been a long time coming,” said Dean Murdock, chair of the board’s transportation committee. “It’s a good problem to have — we’ve got extremely high volumes of users on our trail system, and that’s growing on a regular basis. And in order to meet that demand we’re going to need to make some improvements that make it safer and more comfortable for folks to get around on that trail system,” he said.
The CRD estimates the busiest sections of the Galloping Goose and Lochside regional trails see as many as 3,750 users on any given summer day, and now believes the projected 4,500 daily users expected by 2040 could happen much sooner.
