Transit access will be improved in the Comox Valley through new transit exchanges.
BC Transit has announced five exchanges and bus priority lanes are coming to the region, with the goal of not only improving access to buses, but also customer comfort, safety, and support for investing in frequent transit service.
They say the transit exchanges will be built in south Courtenay, downtown Courtenay, downtown Comox, North Island College, and Oyster River.
“Each exchange will include concrete bus bays or curb areas that can accommodate heavy-duty buses,” said BC Transit.
“The project will also include improvements to pedestrian and road infrastructure, new bike racks, new larger bus shelters, and the construction of a dedicated operator washroom facility at the south Courtenay exchange.”
Transit adds when crews start constructing, they will let you know of any impacts to bus routes and traffic.
The exchanges at North Island College and Comox will start construction first in the summer this year, with all exchanges expected to be finished by fall 2026.
