The Comox Valley Cycling Task Force, in existence 2006, has concluded its term.
The group has accomplished a number of initiatives to improve cycling safety and convenience: supporting a feasibility study that spurred the Rotary Rail-Trail; initiating Bike to Work Week and Active School Travel Planning; mapping and data collection; and sponsoring Car Free Sunday events, among others.
“A key to the task force’s successes is the cross-agency collaboration,” Area B director and task force chair Jim Gillis states in a letter to local municipalities.
The regional district committee of the whole approved a task force recommendation to change the name of the proposed Integrated Transportation Advisory Committee to the Go Smart Comox Valley-Integrated Transportation Committee — to be approved by each participating jurisdiction separately.
