On Thursday, August 7, more than 75 people came out to Herm Williams Park on Kelly Road to talk about improvements to Kelly Road.

The open house in the park was one way to hear from the community about plans for new sidewalks, bike lanes, transit improvements, landscaping and infrastructure upgrades that will help make Kelly Road a walkable, bikeable and welcoming entrance to Colwood.

The project also includes plans for the creation of a Metchosin Greenway that will make it safe and enjoyable to walk or cycle from the Galloping Goose trail, along Adye Road and across Kelly to Metchosin Road. Sewer lines are being considered as well, because it makes sense to do that while the road is under construction.

We want to hear from you

The first step in planning is to involve neighbours of the area and consider your input in the design of the improvements.
