Intersection Improvements and Infrastructure Projects

Project Name: Latoria Road Active Transportation Improvements Project Phase 3
Address: Latoria Rd between Happy Valley Rd and 879 Latoria Rd.
Project Status: Awaiting Approval and Grant Funding
Anticipated Completion Date: TBD
Project Rationale: The Latoria Road Active Transportation Improvements Project enhances safety and connectivity for students, residents, and transit users travelling along Latoria Road.

Latoria Road had no dedicated walking or cycling infrastructure prior to the new SĆIȺNEW̱ SṮEȽIṮḴEȽ Elementary School (pronounced scheeaynuh skaleetkluth) being built. Community members and families raised concerns about the lack of a safe and direct route to the new school. In response, the City of Langford evaluated options to support safe routes for students walking, cycling, or rolling to SĆIȺNEW̱ SṮEȽIṮḴEȽ Elementary School.

The project timeline will be dependent on the availability of provincial and federal funding, and the City’s success in securing those funding sources.

Project Description: The project delivers significant improvements to the active transportation network along Latoria Road, creating a safer and more comfortable environment for all road users. Enhancements help reduce vehicle pedestrian conflicts, improve transit access, and encourage active transportation for school related travel and daily trips.

The project includes installing protected bike lanes on both sides of Latoria Road, a separated sidewalk on the south side of the road, new and upgraded bus stop location, improved street lighting

Project Name: Latoria Road Active Transportation Improvements Project
Address: Latoria Road between Triangle Trail and 774 Latoria Road
Project Status: Construction Complete
Project Rationale: The Latoria Road Active Transportation Improvements Project enhances safety and connectivity for students, residents, and transit users travelling along Latoria Road, particularly those accessing the new SĆIȺNEW̱ SṮEȽIṮḴEȽ Elementary School (pronounced scheeaynuh skaleetkluth).

Prior to the school’s construction, Latoria Road had no dedicated walking or cycling infrastructure. Community members and families raised concerns about the lack of a safe and direct route to the new school, noting that while sidewalks provided access to Happy Valley Elementary School, similar connections were not available for the new school location. In response, the City of Langford evaluated options to support safe routes for students walking, cycling, or rolling to SĆIȺNEW̱ SṮEȽIṮḴEȽ Elementary School, particularly from the McCormick Meadows area.

This project received partial funding through the Province of British Columbia’s Active Transportation Infrastructure Grant Program, supporting the City’s commitment to safe, sustainable travel options.

Project Description: The project delivers significant improvements to the active transportation network along Latoria Road, creating a safer and more comfortable environment for all road users. Enhancements help reduce vehiclepedestrian conflicts, improve transit access, and encourage active transportation for schoolrelated travel and daily trips.

The project includes installing protected bike lanes on both sides of Latoria Road, a separated sidewalk on the south side of the road, new and upgraded bus stop location, improved street lighting for safety and visibility, formalized landscaping to enhance the corridor, and a new parking lot for student drop off.

Project Update (March 31, 2026): The project is substantially complete. Minor remaining work includes final landscaping in the boulevards and new parking lot area.

Project Name: Master Transportation Plan and Active Transportation Plan
Address: N/A
Project Status: In Design
Project Rationale: The City of Langford is creating two new plans to shape the future of transportation in Langford. These plans are the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) and the Active Transportation Plan (ATP). Both plans are identified as specific objectives in the 2023-2027 Council Strategic Plan.

Through public engagement and community feedback, residents have identified growing concerns related to traffic congestion, limited mobility options, and barriers to walking, cycling, and rolling. Community members have expressed a strong desire for improved walkability, accessibility, and safer, more connected transportation networks. In response to these priorities, the City of Langford is working with WATT Consulting Group to develop comprehensive and integrated transportation plans that support sustainable growth and reflect community values.

Project Description: The Transportation Master Plan will serve as Langford’s first official longrange guide for planning and developing the city’s transportation network. It will focus on creating a more efficient and resilient system by improving overall connectivity, optimizing traffic operations such as signal coordination, and ensuring the transportation network supports anticipated growth and development.

Developed alongside the TMP, the Active Transportation Plan will focus on improving opportunities for walking, cycling, and rolling throughout the community. The plan aims to increase safe and convenient active transportation options, improve connectivity within Langford and to neighbouring areas, and reduce pressure on the existing road network. By encouraging more people to choose active modes of travel, the ATP will support healthier, more sustainable transportation choices for the community.

Together, the Transportation Master Plan and Active Transportation Plan will provide a coordinated strategy to improve safety, accessibility, and mobility for all road users.
