Multi-Use Path Upgrades: Olsen Road to Gibson Street
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinEmail this link
Upgrades to Tofino’s Multi-Use Path (MUP) between Olsen Road and Gibson Street will begin in mid-April 2022. The upgrades are anticipated to be complete within an 8-week construction period.
What is happening?
The redevelopment of Tofino’s MUP from Olsen Road to Gibson Street will see the completion of badly needed infrastructure and safety improvements through the construction of 430 lineal metres of separated, multi-use path as well as the construction of a multi-modal transportation node. This will include a transit stop and associated public realm amenities to support both the Tofino Free Summer Shuttle as well as the new incoming regional BC Transit service, bicycle parking, a limited number of on-street parking spaces, as well as conflict paint at driveway crossings.

Project Background
Traffic and parking congestion are a growing challenge in Tofino during peak season as well as during the increasingly busy shoulder seasons. Tofino’s Multi-Use Path (MUP) has proved a popular alternative to personal vehicle use and the District has invested significantly in recent years in improvements to provide a safe and appealing pathway for cyclists and pedestrians. The section of pathway between Olsen Road and Gibson Street has been increasingly challenging and several short-term interventions have been piloted in recent years to help manage safety concerns.
In the Spring of 2021 the District successfully applied for an $800,000 Tourism Dependent Communities (TDC) Fund grant through the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport to support this project. Resort Municipality Initiative (RMI) funds will support project costs in excess of, or not eligible under, the TDC Fund grant.
