New multi-use path in Oceanside a good start, according to cycling group
PARKSVILLE – Pedestrians and cyclists are pleased with a new safer path linking Coombs to Parksville.
The RDN’s Rail Trail is now open, allowing people walking and biking a safe alternative to being in the side of the road.
The Greater Nanaimo Cycling Coalition believes the trail is just the start. Spokesman Leo Boon sees it connecting with the Parksville Cycling Network in the future.
“The greatest opportunity here is to get this trail all the way connected to the resorts,” he said. “So that people can come from the resort area and walk or cycle all the way from the downtown core and resort area all the way up to Coombs.”
