ยปยปแ…ณPlease go toแ…ณโ–บ https://engagecomoxvalley.ca/lets-move-courtenay and, at the bottom of the page, drop a pin on the map at 11th Street and Cumberland Road to indicate that there should be a Transit hub at Courtenay Station for trains and trails.

The City of Courtenay is conducting a transportation engagement called "๐‘ณ๐’†๐’•'๐’” ๐’Ž๐’๐’—๐’†, ๐‘ช๐’๐’–๐’“๐’•๐’†๐’๐’‚๐’š" and is using an online map where you can drop pins ๐Ÿ“ and add comments where you want to see items for the road, transit, cycling and walking.

While they show roads and trails they have left the railway completely off the map as if it's not even there! It feels wrong to leave an existing rail Right-of-Way off the map, so let's correct that mistake.ย 

If you live in the City of Courtenay, you may want to let your your council know about the oversight while you're at it.

Thanks for all your support, did you notice? We're almost at 35,000!!!
