Timely funding announcement for Parksville Transportation Plan

Mar 27, 2017 | 10:07 AM

PARKSVILLE – Funding for a major Parksville project couldn’t have come at a better time, according to their mayor.

Mayor Marc Lefebvre said the nearly $180,000 for the Jensen Ave. Greenway Project will help them build the walkway and also finish already planned upgrades to Corfield St.

“It’s going to be a really, really great asset,” said Lefebvre. “It’ll get more people out walking and being able to get to locations from one point to another. And with the renovation, the infrastructure replacement and renewal program we’ve got for Corfield, it’s a perfect match.”

Lefebvre said the Jensen Ave. project also ties in with their recently approved transportation master plan.
