    Has the equestrian community been consulted? I'm not keen on a cycling path on Finlayson Arm. A multi use path maybe but a single use no.

    Rebecca asked about 3 years ago

    The equestrian community has not been specifically consulted; though, we have targeted all HIghlanders in our communications to date and certainly welcome input from that community.

    There was a "cycling path" discussed in the early draft Preliminary Directions with the Task Force. However, this is unlikely to be on Finlayson Arm Rd and likely to be a multi-use trail when presented as part of the Preliminary Directions survey, later this month.

    Hi Carolyn,

    I am sorry that you are having trouble.

    The postal code form is confusing, because you will see the location as "Victoria, BC" for a Highlands Postal Code, due to the nature of our region (see image below). However, we will be able to identify it as a Highlands postal code.

    If this doesn't solve your issue, then please let us know!

    Thank you.

    Yes, we are aware that this image is not from the study area. For better or worse, we decided to choose a fairly generic/beautiful "visioning" image for the home page.

    Catherine Burrage asked over 3 years ago

    Sorry for the slow reply.

    If you download the Study Area Map (scroll down to "Documents" on the righthand side of the main page), then you can zoom in and see the street names.

    If you need a map with larger street name labels, then please let me know – evan@barefootplanning.com and I will create one.
