Transportation Master Plan Mid-Point Review Received by Council
At the November 24, 2025 Regular Council Meeting, Council received the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) Mid-Point Review for information.
Originally adopted in 2020, the TMP serves as a long-term guide for how the District plans, builds, and manages transportation infrastructure. It aligns with the Parks and Trails Master Plan and reflects extensive community input gathered during development.
The TMP is guided by a vision of a connected, safe, and accessible transportation network that supports a healthy, vibrant, and sustainable Sooke. Its goals focus on expanding travel options, improving connectivity, supporting sustainability, strengthening the local economy, ensuring balanced investment, and fostering partnerships.
Progress to Date
Since 2020, the District has made steady progress across all five focus areas:
- Walking + Rolling
- Cycling
- Public Transit
- Complete Streets
- New Mobility + Integration
Key achievements include updates to development standards and the advancement of complete streets projects. Several major capital projects have also been completed, such as:
- Charters Road and Church Road streetscape improvements
- Otter Point Road upgrades
- Church/Throup roundabout
- Brailsford Place connection
What’s Underway
Ongoing work includes:
- Planning for a future transit exchange on Wadams Way
- Advancing accessible infrastructure through external funding
- Improving pedestrian connections through development
- Major projects like the Throup Road extension and Phillips Road active transportation upgrades
Looking Ahead
Remaining projects will continue to guide transportation planning over the next 5–10 years. A full update to the TMP will be considered near the end of its lifecycle to refresh priorities and respond to evolving community needs.
This mid-point review highlights the significant progress made so far and reaffirms the TMP as a key tool in shaping Sooke’s transportation future.
