The Town has a long-standing goal of establishing a safe, continuous walkway along the Qualicum Beach waterfront.

This project designated parking spaces along Highway 19A through the placement of bollards and two-way pedestrian and bike lanes protected by concrete barriers. Previously, private properties obstructed the walkway, and walking along those stretches was dangerous and onerous.

This project advanced the goals of the Waterfront Master Plan and created a continuous walkway along the waterfront for all to safely enjoy.
