Victoria is experiencing unprecedented growth. Within the next two decades, it is estimated that an additional 10,000 to 15,000 people will live in downtown Victoria.

The City of Victoria is currently undertaking three key planning projects to ensure that Victoria is an enjoyable, safe and sustainable city to live and work. These plans will direct future residential and commercial development, and walking and cycling amenities.

On November 7, 2007 project stakeholders and the general public were invited to attend a Public Consultation Fair at Victoria City Hall to learn about various initiatives that the City of Victoria is undertaking to ensure that Victoria is an enjoyable, safe and sustainable city to live and work in. These plans will help to direct future residential and commercial development, as well as walking and cycling amenities. The plans included:

Downtown Core Area Plan – review four options to support a vibrant, mixed-use and healthy downtown

Pedestrian Master Plan – review recommendations to improve sidewalks, pathways, crosswalks and lighting for pedestrians

Harbour Pathway Project – review a proposed design for a continuous pedestrian and cycling path to connect Ogden Point to Rock Bay

Staff and project consultants were on hand to discuss displays and answer questions. Participants were asked to provide input on the three planning projects by filling out a comment form.
