Residents will soon have another option for commuting into the cove: a park and ride on the west side of the island.
Four parking spaces will be installed sometime in the next couple of months at the satellite fire hall at 1421 Adams Rd., says Bonny Brokenshire, Bowen Island Municipality’s manager of parks and environment.
The park and ride was created in response to increased parking pressures in Snug Cove and coincides with the island’s Integrated Transportation Master Plan, which looks at alternative forms of transportation.
The pilot project will gauge whether or not there’s an appetite on the island for a park and ride as a viable transportation solution.
