On May 25th Colwood Council Council directed staff to proceed with the award of contracts for three significant capital projects beginning in June 2021:

  1. Allandale/Veterans Memorial Parkway Road Improvements: Road improvements on Veterans Memorial Parkway and Allandale Road to enable the Allandale District development, including a new signaled intersection, sidewalks, center islands, landscaping, lighting and underground servicing. (Note: this work will only extend Allandale Road a portion of the way into the development lands, not all the way through to Wishart Road.) Read more at www.Colwood.ca/Allandale
     
  2. Painter Road Sidewalk: A new sidewalk will be constructed on Painter Road running the full length of the Dunsmuir School side with space for cyclists on both sides, as well as improvements around the Painter Trail entrance and the school entrance. The project will improve pedestrian and cycling access, support safe routes to school and expand the City's active transportation network. This is the first of two 2021 capital projects in the City’s ongoing program of active transportation network upgrades planned over the next 10 years and beyond. Construction is scheduled for June to September 2021. Read more at www.Colwood.ca/PainterSidewalks

The project will improve pedestrian and cycling access, support safe routes to school and expand the City's active transportation network. This is the second of two 2021 capital projects in the City’s ongoing program of active transportation network upgrades planned over the next 10 years and beyond.
