Cedar Village Active Transportation Network Planning

The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) is developing an Active Transportation Network Plan (ATNP) for Cedar Village in Electoral Area A (view project area map). The Plan will guide improvements to walking, cycling, and rolling routes to enhance safety, accessibility, and connections to local amenities and services for people of all ages and abilities.

Building on previous plans, including the Electoral Area A Active Transportation Plan (2009) and the Cedar Main Street Village Plan (2013), this work takes a closer look at current conditions and identifies priority improvements for the Cedar Village area.

Why It Matters

  • Safer Routes - Improve safety for walking, biking and rolling
  • Better Connections - Link homes to schools, parks, businesses and services
  • Climate Action - Support low-carbon travel and healthy lifestyles
  • Funding Opportunities - Position the community for provincial and federal infrastructure grant funding

Project Status

Public engagement for this project is now complete. Thank you to everyone who contributed feedback to help shape the Plan.

Next steps: Feedback is being used to refine the Plan and identify priority projects before it is presented to the Committee and RDN Board for consideration in summer 2026.
