Nanaimo Incorporates Rail Corridor into Transit-Oriented Development Plans
City council has decided to include transportation by rail in future planning for transit-oriented areas in Nanaimo.
A motion put forward by Coun. Hilary Eastmure at a meeting on Oct. 6 recommended that staff look for opportunities to support transit-oriented development centers, including Country Club and Woodgrove, with clear connections to the rail system.
“We’re doing this review right now. We’re working on these transit-oriented development centres,”
said Eastmure. The motion aims to create policies that support corridor-related transit, such as interurban light rail and active transit.
