The City of Port Alberni, British Columbia, will begin replacing old bus shelters and benches during the week of March 23, 2026. This project aims to make the local transit system safer and easier to use for everyone who relies on the bus.

Workers from the City of Port Alberni will start by taking down the existing shelters and seating. Once the old structures are gone, crews will pour new concrete pads that meet updated safety and engineering standards.

This work is part of a larger effort to update local services through the 2026-2030 Five Year Financial Plan. The city is using this plan to guide long-term improvements to community facilities and services.

The city is also working with BC Transit on a plan to identify where the bus system needs more service and better equipment. These updates are meant to help people get around town more comfortably as the community continues to grow.
