The pathway will run along the shoreline stretching from the new Royal Beach Development to the end of the Esquimalt Lagoon on the Coburg Peninsula along Ocean Boulevard.
Colwood’s vision of an accessible, multi-use pathway along four kilometres of the city’s waterfront took a leap forward Monday after the federal government announced $6 million in funding to support the project.
“This pathway will allow visitors to enjoy the spectacular waterfront in Colwood, while protecting sensitive ecological and archaeological shoreline areas,” Colwood Mayor Doug Kobayashi said at a news conference on Monday. “The pathway will inspire people to get outdoors and active as they walk or cycle from Colwood’s town centre to the waterfront and beyond to the vibrant seaside village envisioned at Royal Beach.
At the midway point of Ocean Boulevard, there are plans for another ocean access mat. At the north end, concept plans call for a guest services centre with concessions and washrooms. Small docks and wildlife viewing platforms are also proposed. Colwood’s $6 million in funding is part of the federal government’s Canada Community Building Fund, formerly known as the federal Gas Tax Fund. Ottawa announced funding for 45 projects across British Columbia on Monday totalling nearly $104 million.
