Saanich council has approved a detailed study for land-use and transportation in the Tillicum-Burnside neighbourhood, which will run for 18 months and cost $250,000. The study will focus on four key areas: the Tillicum Burnside center, the Tillicum corridor, the Burnside corridor, and Gorge Village. Expected completion is in spring 2026.
Land-use and transportation in the Tillicum-Burnside neighbourhood will be under the microscope for the next 18 months, after Saanich council endorsed terms of reference for the comprehensive study.
The study will look at four key areas: the Tillicum Burnside centre, the Tillicum corridor, the Burnside corridor and Gorge Village. “This is an area where we are likely to see a lot of changes in coming years and probably one of the major drivers will be the redevelopment of the shopping centre,” said Murdock, noting there have been a couple of attempts at redevelopment of the Tillicum Centre site over the last several years.
Murdock said council is aware that these kinds of plans can generate concern and frustration for residents, and lessons were learned from previous exercises.
