How We Came Together
Over the years, local residents have expressed concerns to Saanich Engineering
about traffic issues in Strawberry Vale, such as external traffic (i.e.
commuters) and traffic speed as a risk to children in the neighbourhood.
In the past, the engineering department was not at all responsive and
in fact proposed changes that would have exacerbated the problems we were
already facing. Copies of their reports and proposals are on this website.
Casual chats about these issues turned into informal discussions and
finally, into a group of concerned residents who want to make sure that
we ALL have the chance to work together and advocate for OUR COMMUNITY.
The group has been informal, for the most part, and has changed composition
as people moved out of the neighbourhood (out of frustration over the
traffic issue!) and new people moved in.
In 2006, the Strawberry Vale Residents' Association
recognized this issue and lent us support. This has helped us be heard
by Saanich Engineering.
We welcome everyone's involvement and input. Sign up for the Bulletin
Board!
