Victoria

Victoria is the capital of British Columbia located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, along the Pacific Ocean. According to Wikipedia, “Victoria is the 7th most densely populated city in Canada with 4,405.8 people per square kilometre, which is a greater population density than Toronto.” (Wikipedia, 2019). A blog post features Victoria Transport Policy Institute’s Complete Streets report.

Strategic Plan | 2015

The City of Victoria’s Strategic Plan, 2015-2018 incorporates a Complete Streets approach. Under Objective #9: Complete a Multi-Modal and Active Transportation Network, the plan states that by 2018, Victoria will be “a national leader for cycling infrastructure and Complete Streets planning, with completed all-ages and abilities cycling network connecting all neighbourhoods and village centres.” To accomplish this, the City will “mandate and create a collaborative neighbourhood process and ‘Complete Streets’ lens for all [transportation] projects” (p. 16).

The City of Victoria is currently working on the City of Victoria 2019-2022 Draft Strategic Plan which currently has no mention of complete streets.

Active Transportation Plan | 2011

Victoria’s 2011 “Cycling and Pedestrian Master Plan”  refers to Complete Streets (p. 1), and advocates for designing streets for a “universal user” (p. 3).
