Qualicum Beach receives $700K for Memorial Ave. walkway
OCEANSIDE — The Town of Qualicum Beach can now finish a major project connecting two of the most picturesque parts of town.
The provincial government announced nearly $700,000 to complete a walking and bicycling path along Memorial Ave.
Lukes Sales, director of planning and community development, told NanaimoNewsNOW the money means they can finally open up a difficult stretch of people’s commute.
“You’re climbing quite a bit when you come up,” he said. “If you’re walking or wobbling up the hill on your bike, the last thing you want to be doing is walking with traffic or interacting with cars.”
