New Walking and Cycling Path on K'ómoks First Nation Reserve
Official title: K'ómoks IR#1 Multiuse Path
K'ómoks First Nation wants to build a 1 km paved pathway on their reserve near Comox, BC. The trail would include benches, lighting, a crosswalk, and native plantings. This is a federal environmental screening for an Indigenous community infrastructure project.
Why This Matters
Live near the Comox reserve? This path could connect the community and make walking safer. It's also a chance to see how Indigenous communities are investing in local infrastructure.
What Could Change
If approved, construction of a 1 km asphalt pathway with lighting, benches, and a pedestrian crosswalk would proceed on the reserve. Environmental conditions may be attached to protect local ecosystems during construction.
Key Issues
- What are the potential environmental impacts of constructing the pathway?
- Are there concerns about the proposed lighting, culverts, or vegetation removal?
Indigenous Consultation
This consultation requires engagement with Indigenous communities under the Crown's duty to consult.
