Saanich notification of Borden Street Infrastructure project

By

What’s happening?

The District of Saanich is undertaking an infrastructure project on Borden St in front of Tim Hortons and Reynolds Secondary School. This project includes the design and installation of a raised crosswalk and a traffic-calming speed table. The project aims to improve safety for pedestrians using these connections to and from Reynolds Secondary School, and the Lochside Regional Trail.

Why is Saanich doing this?
This location was identified by Reynolds Secondary School in discussion with Saanich staff. After analysis of the location it was determined to be warranted based on traffic volumes, number of pedestrian crossings, and proximity to transit locations. Upgrading this crossing location will increase the safety and comfort of students while travelling to school.

Construction Impacts

Traffic delays may occur in this area during construction. Construction will occur Monday-Friday during business hours. Property owners who will be directly impacted will be notified of the construction and to expect delays while construction is being done. Garbage and recycling services will be maintained throughout construction.

Cedar Hill X Road safety review survey open until APRIL 14

By

The Cedar Hill Cross Road corridor is a 3.0km segment of road that provides an east-west connection from McKenzie Avenue to the businesses at Shelbourne Street and onwards to the University of Victoria and the District of Oak Bay. There are hundreds of local properties along the corridor and it regularly experiences congestion at peak times.

The District of Saanich is undertaking a traffic study for 2.1km of the Cedar Hill Cross Road corridor, from McKenzie Avenue to Ophir Street. By identifying cost-effective mitigation measures, the study is meant to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

The District is interested to hear about your experiences to help improve safety for vulnerable users along this roadway. We encourage you to complete the survey here by April 14th.

Please share this info with anyone who might be interested.
