The District of Tofino is undertaking an infrastructure improvement project along sections of Fourth Street and Gibson Street in 2024 and 2025. This project aims to enhance the town's infrastructure, ensuring safety, connectivity, and environmental sustainability.⁠
⁠
The project includes replacing the old asbestos cement watermain on Fourth Street with a modern watermain, increasing water capacity and reducing the risk of breaks and leaks. ⁠
⁠
Pedestrian improvements include a new 1.5-meter-wide sidewalk connecting Wickaninnish Community School and the new daycare to Campbell Street. This sidewalk will link to existing sidewalks on Fourth Street and Malon Lane, providing a safe route for pedestrians to and from the downtown core. ⁠
⁠
The District of Tofino highly values the community's input on this project. If you have any questions, concerns, or general feedback, please do not hesitate to share. All feedback will be carefully considered before finalizing the project design.⁠
⁠
Public consultation will close on Sunday, June 30, 2024.⁠
