SUMMARY:Active Transportation Community Workshop
DESCRIPTION:These in-person workshops will provide opportunities to learn more about the District of Oak Bay’s Active Transportation Strategy (ATS) and share your input directly with staff and facilitators. Workshops are two and a half hours long\, open to up to 50 participants per session\, and registration is required.\n\nBackground\n\n\nIn May 2025\, Council directed staff to launch a broad community-wide engagement process to ensure the updated strategy reflects local needs and perspectives\, specifically related to the nine proposed cycling routes identified as key to building a cycling network. \nYour input helps shape Active Transportation in Oak Bay\n\n\nThis first phase of engagement (September\, 2025) focuses on gathering insights to inform an updated ATS as well as gathering high-level feedback to refine nine proposed cycling routes. \nThis input will inform both the updated ATS and the new Cycling Implementation Plan\, which will be presented to Council in 2026. \nHow do I register?\n\n\nVisit our Active Transportation Connect Oak Bay page\, where you can fill out a form telling us which workshop you would like to attend. Please note this is one of three workshops scheduled to ensure all community members have a chance to attend.
