The Douglas Street Connector Project
You are invited to an information session for the Douglas Street Connector project at Rainbow Park on the evening of June 23rd, 2009 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Concepts have been developed over the last two years and with help from the Ministry of Transportation and the Bicycle & Pedestrian Mobility Advisory Committee we are now ready to implement Phase 1 of a vital bicycle connection that runs parallel to the Pat Bay Highway. Please join us at Rainbow Park to discuss this project. Comments can be sent to adrian.betanzo@saanich.ca for consideration until July 6th, 2009, or call Adrian at 250-475-5494, ext. 3459.
Project Description
The Douglas Street Connector will connect Saanich Municipal Hall, Swan Lake and the Lochside/Galloping Goose Trail to the existing asphalt path at the end of Falaise Drive. The route continues on to Cherry Tree Bend and the intersection of Halliburton Road with the Pat Bay Hwy.
Phase 1 of this project will run from the intersection of Ralph Street and Douglas Street into Rainbow Park and along the bottom of the bank to exit at McKenzie Avenue. The path will be similar to the Galloping Goose and Lochside Trails with a yellow dashed centreline and a 3.0 metre mixed use asphalt path. There will also be a 2.0 metre finger that links the playground area to the trail in Rainbow Park.
For your convenience, we include a copy of the Douglas Street Connector drawing.
