A draft of the plan will be posted for two weeks at the end of June to allow the public to provide their final comments.
Following this period, the plan will be brought to council for adoption, and staff will proceed to planning and implementing the plan, which will involve bringing projects through the budgeting process in future years.
“To put that in perspective, Sidney’s annual capital budget is about $10 million for close to 100 projects per year. So we have limited financial and staff resources, so to make an annual $1-million commitment to pedestrian and cycling infrastructure each year is very significant,” said Mayor Cliff McNeil-Smith.
Council voted Monday to authorize staff to proceed with a detailed design of the 1.5-kilometre bicycle boulevard, which will connect people in north Sidney to the town’s core, with parks and schools along the route.The town has identified 20 priority sidewalk improvements, estimated at roughly $3.5 million to $4.5 million for all projects, according to estimates in the draft plan. The top three projects are on Lochside Drive, Fifth Street and Amelia Avenue.
