The District of Sechelt received a grant provided by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for construction of bike lanes along Reef Road, Shoal Way and Lighthouse Avenue.
Sechelt received two grants to date for active transportation infrastructure, one is the BikeBC grant for on-street biking along Reef Road, Shoal Way and Kinnikinnick. The project was delayed due to the Covid 19 pandemic related issues but will be expedited for 2023 completion.
Current Status
Part of this project was completed in 2022 in conjunction with our Road Paving Program. This included widening to accommodate bike lanes on the west side of Lighthouse Avenue, the south side of Shoal Way, the south side of Link Road as well as widening a portion Reef Road. Pavement marking for these roads is scheduled for April 2023.
The tender process is currently underway to complete the rest of project. Completion is anticipated for June 30, 2023 if tender is received within available budget.
The Details
Reef Road
Dedicated on-street bike lanes on both sides of the road, from Trail Ave to Marine Way.

Southbound bike lane diverges along Links Road and St Andrew’s Place. It was decided that due to the right of way and geographic constraints, it was not possible to safely direct two bike lanes along the hill.
