Chemainus Road Upgrades

MUNICIPALITY OF NORTH COWICHAN

Lanarc worked with the Municipality of North Cowichan’s engineering team to design and implement a streetscape improvement in Chemainus’ commercial hub. The transformation features utility upgrades, new bike lanes, revitalized sidewalks, and a new roundabout.

In addition to the hardscape improvements, the landscape design features green infrastructure (bioretention swales) that manage stormwater runoff from the adjacent road and sidewalk. There are also pedestrian nodes located along the commercial frontages that feature custom seating elements and generous planting areas to create a feeling of protection from the adjacent roadway.

Lanarc staff played a key role in the project from early concept design through construction administration. The project was completed in Spring 2021.
