Victoria Street Active Transportation Upgrades

Overview

New protected bike lanes along Victoria Street from the Pedestrian Bridge at Loggers Lane to Third Avenue will be constructed in 2025. This project will provide a safe all ages and abilities connection between the new Pedestrian Bridge and Downtown Squamish.

This project will help to make walking, rolling, and cycling on and across Victoria Street safe, comfortable and accessible for people of all ages and abilities, and provide an active transportation link to and from the Sea AND Sky and Downtown Squamish via the Pedestrian Bridge.

Background

The District’s Active Transportation Plan identified a need for improved east-west transportation infrastructure in Downtown to provide a safe network for active transportation users. 

Impacts of Construction  

Please expect the following: 

• Work will take place between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday to Saturday.
• Increased noise levels.
• Short-term traffic disruptions due to construction activities and vehicles.  
• Construction is estimated to begin in spring/summer 2025. Work is anticipated to last for approximately 2-3 months.
• As this work is weather dependent, work is anticipated to occur during the summer months. All efforts are being made to minimize impacts to the area.
