The City of Port Alberni, British Columbia, launched a new round of public feedback on March 5, 2026, to help decide how local roads and transit will look for the next 20 years. This long-term plan will guide where the city spends money on transportation projects and how it builds its network for everyone in the community.
Residents are invited to review and comment on proposed ideas for roads, bus routes, bike paths, and walking trails. The city wants this input to ensure that future investments in travel and safety reflect the actual needs of local households over the next two decades.
This planning phase comes shortly after the city approved its newest five-year financial plan in February 2026. That financial plan helps set the stage for how much money will be available for major projects and infrastructure through 2030.
Andrew McGifford, the interim chief administrative officer for the city, is overseeing the process as the community shares its thoughts. The feedback gathered during this time will be used to finalize the priorities for local transportation and commute times.
People who want to learn more about the city’s goals for active transportation, including walking and cycling paths, can find details on the city website. The city expects the final version of this plan to act as a roadmap for all future municipal travel projects.
