Cortes Active Transportation Planning Project

The Strathcona Regional District (SRD) will be updating its Official Community Plan for Cortes Island in the next year. As part of this update, the SRD retained Urban Systems Ltd., to conduct a research and data collection study of the active transportation facilities on Cortes Island. We want to gain a better understanding of existing transportation networks, and mobility patterns, and opportunities for improvement. To do so, it is important that we understand how residents and visitors move across the island and how the regional district can encourage more active modes of transportation such as walking, cycling, and rolling.

Thank you to all Cortes Community Members for taking part in the Active Transportation Planning Survey and Workshops that took place April 2022.
