Major overhaul pending for Parksville’s Stanford Ave
PARKSVILLE — A busy north-south Parksville collector road will be resurfaced, as well as amenities added for non-vehicular users.
The City of Parksville expects crews to begin revitalizing Stanford Ave. E between McCarter St. and Shelly Rd. from late this month with an expected substantial completion of late next summer.
Shawn Boven, City of Parksville director of engineering and information systems, said the 1.2 kilometre construction area was identified in their Transportation Master Plan endorsed last year.
“We are excited about the pedestrian and multi-modal transportation upgrades to this section of road,” Boven said. Currently, there is some sidewalk on the north side, but there is significant gaps, so this will close the gaps and add the multi-use pathway on the south side.”
