Construction Begins On Lazo Greenway Multi-Use Path

Construction has begun on the Lazo Greenway Multi-Use Path.

Construction for the path will follow the Comox Valley Sewer Conveyance Project and will be completed at the same time along Lazo Road.

Teams from both projects have been working on construction overlap to reduce impact to residents, avoid individual project delays, and find potential cost savings.

“The Lazo Greenway MUP represents another great collaboration with local, provincial and federal governments to improve an existing active transportation option in the Comox Valley,” explains Edwin Grieve, Electoral Areas Services Committee Chair.

“Accomplishing this project in line with the Comox Valley Sewer Conveyance Project ensures this work is completed in a more efficient manner while addressing two needs at once.”

Comox Mayor Nicole Minions says the project provides a valuable opportunity to enhance greenways by removing invasive species and replanting with native vegetation, supporting local wildlife and ecosystems.”

The upgraded path will extend from Butchers Road to Sand Pines Drive and will help residents and visitors connect to MacDonald Wood Park, Goose Spit, Lazo Marsh, and Point Holmes by foot or bike.

The path will vary in width along the designed route to minimize environmental impacts and includes dedicated bike lanes along Lazo Road from

Simba Road to Sand Pines. A pedestrian crossing at Sand Pines Drive has been installed to increase public safety.
