    Subject: RE: Saanich Referral (986&990 Doumac Ave.)

     Dear Planning Department:

    The CBA ‘Generally has no objection with suggested changes or concerns’.

    Consistent with previous correspondence from the CBA to Saanich Planning and Saanich
    Engineering, the CBA recommends that a traffic signal and pedestrian crosswalk are installed
    at the Doumac Ave./Cordova Bay Rd. intersection to adequately handle the anticipated traffic
    volumes and provide for safe pedestrian movement.  Significant increases in traffic volumes
    and pedestrian movement at this intersection are anticipated with the completion of this
    project and the ongoing redevelopment of the Cordova Bay Plaza. The signal would also
    assist with traffic calming through the “village” and provide welcome breaks in the traffic flow
    along Cordova Bay Rd.

    As far as the amenities contribution goes, the east-west access along Doumac had a high
    support level from participants in the LAP update process.  We only wish it was more!  $51K
    won’t go very far.

    Sincerely,
    Larry Gontovnick, President
    Cordova Bay Association for Community Affairs (CBA)
