langford transportation planning & projects

This bylaw created a new proper Road DCC project list and reset the rates moving forward. A full traffic study was completed as part of this bylaw creation

Several of these projects from the 2012 program were completed and were removed from the program cost. These include:

1. Leigh Road Interchange Southwest Quadrant Ramp (Completed December 2015) –Construction of the last offramp on the TCH at the Leigh Road Interchange
2. West Shore Parkway (started 2015) – Construction began from the railway south to Sooke Road in 2015 and took to the Fall of 2017 to complete
3. McCallum Road Connector (Opened in Spring 2016) – New connector Florence Lake Road to Citation.
4. Leigh Road at Goldstream Avenue Intersection (Completed in September 2016) – Realignment and newly signalized intersection. The project was exceptionally challenging due to the network of multiple large underground utility services (eg. Water, sewer, concrete encased hydro ducting) as well as overhead hydro, Telus and Shaw.
5. Leigh Road from Goldstream South to Dunford Avenue (Completed in Summer 2015) –Laning improvements included a center turnlane, construction of a paved multi use pathway along the east side of Leigh Road, new streetlights, median landscaping
6. Leigh Road from Dunford to Henry Eng Place (Completed in Fall of 2016) – Extension of new Leigh Road from Dunford to Henry Eng Place, turning existing Leigh Road into Leigh Place.

The traffic model to the end of 2020 included completion of several major road network projects in the City of Langford and therefore is the most accurate current projection of road network requirements for the City. The 2020 computer model update included the following completed projects that were new from the last time the Road DCC bylaw was fully amended in 2017:

1. Bear Mountain Parkway (2017 ongoing to 2022)– the final 3.3km of the Bear Mountain Parkway began construction in October 2016 and completed in the Fall of 2017. Work has continued constructing the remaining ultimate sections up this side of the mountain since the Fall of 2017.
2. Millstream Road at Treanor Road (Opened 2020)– completion of the missing southbound through lane and amendments to the signalized intersection (work at corner of Treanor/Millstream).
3. Millstream Overpass (opened Spring 2018) – completion of the second southbound left turnlane from the overpass onto the Highway No. 1 Trans-Canada Highway.
4. McCallum Road Connector (Citation Road to Millstream Road 2 new Signals) (Opened 2020) –the McCallum Road connector was opened in March 2016 connecting the Millstream Interchange to the Leigh Road Interchange in an east/west direction on the north side of the TCH and was amended in 2020 by adding additional lanes and signal lights between Millstream Road and Citation Road (locally referred to as the “Costco store area”).
5. Florence Lake Road Improvements (Setchfield to Florence Lake Road) (Completed Fall 2020) –Reprofiling, paving and multi use pathway.

14. West Shore Parkway (Completed and fully opened Fall 2017) – the West Shore Parkway completion project is 3.3km of collector road connecting the Trans Canada Highway (Highway 1) south across the railway tracks past Langford Parkway and ending at Sooke Road (Highway 14). The West Shore Parkway began construction in November 2015 and was fully completed by September 2017 connecting the Highway No. 1 Trans Canada Highway to Highway No. 14 Sooke Road. There are existing credits for this construction still being carried.
15. Salem Road (now called Finney Road) – since 2017 the City has portioned out work preparing this area for a road connection by preloading etc. A sewer line is currently being constructed here (not part of the Road DCC program) as well as a drainage ditch to be used for the eventual road construction.
16. Peatt at Brock Roundabout and Larkhall Fully Extended (Completed Fall 2021)
