Campbell River council is being asked to endorse the final Transit Future Action Plan to improve service and infrastructure for the next seven years.
According to a staff report, in 2011, a major review was done of the current system, and the new plan would build on some of the fundamentals to allow for continued development and enhancements.
The report says, last year the City received plans to upgrade the system, and now, after an increase in growth around the region, several changes are needed.
“Based on priorities, the plan identifies a series of targeted short-term actions designed to enhance service reliability, respond to rider demand, and improve access across key corridors are needed,” the report says. “Over the next three years, these initiatives will lay the groundwork for a more responsive and inclusive transit network.”
If Council approves the plan, the expansion and costs will be incorporated into the Transit Improvement Program.
Staff anticipate an estimated cost of $196,000 just to improve time performance on Route 1 (Dogwood) for next year.
Council is expected to deliberate on Sept. 4 at 6:00 p.m.
