The Town of Comox has received grant funding through the British Columbia Active Transportation Infrastructure Grants Program to support the development of alternative active transportation infrastructure.
The project includes the construction of a new sidewalk on the west side of Aspen Road between Murrelet Drive and Bolt Avenue, continuing along the north side of Bolt Avenue to Aspen Park Elementary School, and includes parking improvements fronting Aspen Park. In addition, the project will include the addition of dedicated bike lanes along Aspen Road/Noel Road from Bolt Avenue to Anderton Road to enhance safety and connectivity for cyclists and pedestrians.
The new sidewalk will create a continuous pedestrian route from Murrelet Drive to Aspen Park Elementary School, allowing pedestrians to remain on the west side of Aspen Road and eliminating the need to cross traffic. The dedicated bike lanes will expand the Town’s existing cycling network, providing residents with a safe, accessible, and convenient active transportation option for all ages and abilities.
Construction is scheduled to begin the week of October 16, 2025, and continue through to the end of November 2025.
The Town of Comox appreciates the patience and cooperation of its residents during this project and apologizes for any inconvenience caused.
