Letter to Neighbours on Hagel Road

Dear Neighbour:

Re: Hagel Road Active Transportation Upgrades Scheduled for Construction in Spring/Summer 2024

We’re planning to upgrade the road corridor in your neighbourhood!

Improvements are scheduled along Hagel Road to improve pedestrian and cycling access. This is one of the projects in the City’s ongoing program of active transportation upgrades planned over the next 10 years and beyond.

The plans for the Hagel Road upgrades include:

• Raised concrete sidewalks on the West side of Hagel Road from the Galloping Goose Trail to David Cameron Elementary School
• Painted bike lane on the West side of Hagel Road from the Galloping Goose Trail to David Cameron Elementary School
• Crosswalk improvements and drainage improvements

These improvements are important for the many pedestrians and cyclists travelling to and from the Galloping Goose Trail and David Elementary Cameron School to enhance the connectivity for active transportation throughout the City and greater community.

Through a public tendering and approval process, the City has awarded the project to a contractor for the works. Prior to construction start, the City will be working with the contractor in the creation of a detailed project schedule, traffic management plan, and finalization of contract documents. Once these preliminary plans and documents are complete, construction will commence - slated for the start of Summer 2024.

If your property’s frontage will be directly impacted by the project, we will be reaching out to each individual homeowner to discuss the project works.

Please visit LetsTalkColwood.ca for the full project drawing package and project information. Staff will be monitoring community feedback over the course of project and will respond to inquiries.

If you have additional questions about the project, please contact Colwood Engineering at 250-478-5999 or engineering@colwood.ca.
