Uptown Centre a major transit hub

SAANICH COUNCILLOR SUPPORTS USING UPTOWN AS MAJOR HUB LOCATION FOR RAPID TRANSIT

Oct 15, 2009

BC TRANSIT WILL BE HOSTING AN OPEN HOUSE TODAY --- AND THE ISSUE ON THE TABLE WILL BE THE PROPOSED ROUTE FOR THE RAPID TRANSIT LINE LINKING THE WESTSHORE WITH DOWNTOWN VICTORIA.

SAANICH COUNCILLOR DEAN MURDOCK SAYS ONE AREA HE THINKS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE PROJECT IS THE UPTOWN DEVELOPMENT

"you're going to need to provide a large station where you can develop the critical mass to provide the goods and services and people can perhaps park their vehicle or their bicycle or walk from the Galloping Goose and connect to a transportation line---and I think Uptown is a logical location for that type of major transportation hub. It really is at the crossroads of the lower island"
