Project Update - November 2024
Construction continues on the Lazo Greenway Multi-Use Path as it coincides with the Comox Valley Sewer Conveyance Project. The pathway has been completed through the marsh section up to Colby Road.
The section through the marsh includes split rail fencing to delineate the trail edge from the Wildlife Management Area and provides a safety barrier for pathway users. It also includes innovative amphibian protection fencing, designed by biologists with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure with input from local herpetology experts. The protective fencing ensures that amphibians utilize existing subsurface culverts to cross under Lazo road during seasonal migration, preventing them from crossing up and over the road surface.
Project Kickoff - August 2024
The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD), in partnership with the Town of Comox, Government of Canada, and Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI), are pleased to announce construction has begun for the Lazo Greenway Multi-Use Path (MUP).
Construction for this path will follow the Comox Valley Sewer Conveyance Project and will be completed at the same time along Lazo Road. Teams from both projects have been working on construction overlap to reduce impact to residents, avoid individual project delays, and find potential cost savings.
Background
The Lazo Greenway Multi-Use Path is a joint project between the Town of Comox, Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD), and Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) to create opportunities for walkers and cyclists to travel along Balmoral Road and Lazo Road. The project will provide a multi-use greenway path from Butchers Road to Sand Pines Drive and will help local residents connect to Goose Spit, Lazo Marsh, and Point Holmes by foot or bike.
