Join Us! Connect with Your City Open House Featuring Master Planning Engagement

The Transportation Master Plan is moving into its next stage, and your input is helping guide the way. With Round 1 engagement complete, a background and benchmarking report in place, and urgent road safety needs identified, we’re now building on this foundation with traffic modelling, truck route studies, and policy reviews.

Your feedback has already highlighted the need for safer crossings, improved active transportation connections, and better planning for future growth. Thank you to everyone who participated. You’re helping create a safer, smarter, and more connected transportation network for Port Alberni.

What's Happening Now!

We’re eager to show you the work completed so far and hear your thoughts. We will be hosting presentations and Q&A sessions for the Parks, Recreation, and Culture Master Plan (PRCMP) and Transportation Master Plan (TMP), followed by the third annual Connect with Your City Open House.
