NEDC is seeking funding to implement Phase 2 of the Snaw-Naw-As multi-use path, the final segment of this project that will fully link the community’s waterfront to the Market and employment centre. The main benefit of the project is to increase the amount of active transportation infrastructure in the community, while addressing safety concerns by providing users with a safer connection from the waterfront to the Market and employment centre. The project will also provide Snaw-Naw-As members with increased opportunities to remain active and to enhance active transportation connectivity and accessibility to homes within the community. In doing so, the proposed project will support Snaw-Naw-As’ priorities to build a stronger and more resilient community through increased health benefits and accessibility. The proposed project will support Snaw-Naw-As’ most vulnerable members such as youth, elders, young families with baby strollers, and low-income members.
Phase 2 involves installing a 295-metre asphalt extension to the Snaw-Naw-As multi-use path. The proposed project will provide the following amenities:
• 82 sq.m area for a food truck platform (approx. 4m x 20m)
• 10 outdoor lamp posts for pathway lighting
• 3 benches and 5 picnic tables
• 1 bike rack
• Non-greenery landscaping (1 totem pole and 1 trash / recycling receptacle)
The project is being delivered and sponsored by NEDC and has the full support of Snaw-Naw-As First Nation Chief and Council. Other supporters of the development are the Parksville and Qualicum Beach Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Oceanside Tourism organization, who have expressed their support for tourism-related development from the Nation, including the campground and waterfront development. The project also supports the Pan-Canadian Framework on Climate Change by investing in healthier, more sustainable modes of transportation; and CleanBC’s goal of doubling active transportation trips by 2030.
