Many of you have noticed the work being done beside the golf course. The town received a large grant from the gas tax rebate to help fund the changes. It is designed to do the following:
1. A deficient storm utility that overloads the fish bearing Beach Creek with polluted downtown runoff in periods of high intensity rain.
2. Lack of a safe and usable pedestrian and cycling route between downtown Qualicum Beach and the waterfront
3. High crash statistics that result from poor intersection design
4. Threat of water/erosion damage to public and private infrastructure and key tourism resources.
Although we have reservations about the safety of a bike/pedestrian path up the hill on Memorial, we realize some of the other changes were necessary.
