A temporary, four-way stop at Sixth and Fitzgerald is helping pedestrians and motorists during construction of the Fifth Street Complete Street Pilot Project in Courtenay.
A ‘complete street’ meets the needs of motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and bus users. Improvements between Fitzgerald and Menzies will include two paved vehicle lanes, bike lanes separated from traffic, and improved parking and accessibility for pedestrians. There will also be underground improvements.
Work is expected to be complete by Oct. 1.
