  • Has the jensen avenue west sidewalk expansion been approved? When will construction begin? Where can I view plans of what the completed project will look like?

    Matt asked about 2 months ago

    The Jensen Ave West renewal project is planned to include a sidewalk on one side of the road as per the Pedestrian Priority Network. The project is currently in design; however, the timeline for construction is not yet known as the City needs to consider capacity and budget for projects over the coming years. Once the project is closer to construction, we will communicate details and schedule. The design is driven by required utility replacements including water, storm and sanitary sewer mains.

  • With the increase of cyclist travelling on 19A between Parksville to Qualicum , will the new transport plan include cyclist lanes on the 19A - This will increase the safety for cyclists and remove cyclist from sidewalks, increasing pedestrian safety especially with the increase of electric bikes.

    Thank you for your note which has been forwarded to the transportation master plan team for consideration. The phase 3 survey is now live at https://letstalkparksville.ca/transportation-planand from the City's website at www.parksville.ca 

  • For the ten yrs I have been a Parksville resident, I have been amazed at how little progress has been made in accepting that the horseless carriage is her to stay, Parksville continues to reduce the amountof downtown parking available, continues to throw roadblocks to traffic flow with "calming" enhancements that effectively lead to traffic deadlock as seen when the Inland highway was temporarily closed recently and routed through Parksville. It is bad enough when no alternative routes exist(ie-the Malahat) but to pursue a policy of obstruction by destroying an alternative route that already exists is madness! Ease off in blocking off traffic lanes and removing available parking-I appreciate that Parksville had enough room for me in 2014- I wish to extend the welcome hand to more prairie immigrants but blocked roads and Ferries that lose their propellors seem to be a none to subtle way to raise the drawbridge.

    Your message has been passed along to the transportation master plan team. The phase 3 survey, open until November 3, is now live on https://letstalkparksville.ca/transportation-plan and from the City's website www.parksville.ca 

  • Where is the survey for the TMP?

    Juneau11 asked almost 2 years ago

    As detailed in the information, the survey will be available for complete on March 5, same day as the public open house. Available from this site as well as the homepage of the City's website. Paper copies are available from City Hall.

  • I don't have a question, just a comment. Your survey did not leave enough room to add all my comments. It would have been helpful if you had included in your survey one more page allowing the respondents to add what else they had to say but which would not fit in the space provided.

    Elizabeth Friedberg asked about 2 years ago

    Hello. Each question in the survey provides a section for additional comments, all open ended. We did not provide another section at the end of the survey and perhaps should have, thinking comments would relate to each question or section. Should you wish to provide more information or comments, please email to communications@parksville.ca and they will be forwarded to the transportation master plan team to be considered. 

  • I am a member of the Access Oceanside Association (AOA) and we plan to make a submission in response to the Transportation Master Plan Consultation. We understand that the Second Phase of Public Engagement will be in Spring 2024, but could you advise if that is the appropriate time for AOA to make a submission ? Many Thanks.

    Ralph Tietjen asked about 2 years ago

    Engagement sessions with organizations will be held in early December to receive feedback about the transportation network. Invitations have been extended and we are now coordinating meeting times with these local groups. Access Oceanside Association has been contacted.

  • Why do we have non elected staff pushing "Non Car centric" streets on the citizens of Parksville when said city staffer lives outside Parksville and would no doubt find it logistically impossible to ride a bicycle, take transit or walk to work. Unless he is working from home. why are we pushing "non car centric streets on the citizens of Parksville when we are and have been for a long time a bedroom community for Nanaimo? I just saw a nurse in a supermarket obviously just got off her shift and drove home from nanaimo tired from her shift. Do we really expect her to par her vehicle at her home and hop on a bicycle to go to the store? Or hope on a bus to get a bag of groceries after she gets off work at 19:00 hours. I await your reply.

    Twinsport asked about 2 years ago

    Thanks for your comments which have been forwarded to the team conducting the transportation master plan. 

    Here is some information from the team conducting the master plan in response to your comment:
    The Transportation Master Plan is guided by the City of Parksville’s Official Community Plan (OCP), as well as by the focus areas as outlined in the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan. The OCP outlines goals in Section 6.1 that are centered around providing a safe, efficient road and multi-modal network that facilitates easy and effective movement of people and goods while also supporting a high quality of life in a long term, cost effective manner. These goals also include objectives such as having the City seek options for enhancing multi-modal transportation options within the City and beyond.
