An extension has been granted to help complete street improvements along Canada Avenue to allow both the City of Duncan and North Cowichan to fund upgrades.
Improvements along Canada Avenue include upgrades to sidewalks, road surfaces, medians and a multi-use pathway along the west side of Canada Avenue to the city’s boundary with North Cowichan.
According to a report from Duncan CAO Peter de Verteuil, the project has already received significant funding from the Federal Active Transportation Fund Program, which is shared between both municipalities.
Designs for the project are already 60 per cent complete, and with the extension it would allow for construction to start in 2026, providing unds are ready.
The project is a collaborative effort between both municipalities.
