At the January 24, 2024 Council meeting, Carolyn Rice presented a resident petition endorsed by residents of Back Road and those living near Farquharson Drive.
The delegate noted that speed, safety, high-speed traffic noise, and traffic volume are the key concerns. The delegate highlighted the safety of walking, driving, and backing out of resident driveways.
The delegate requested that the City of Courtenay implement speed humps, three-way stops (two three-way stops at Valley View Drive and Marsland Place), and prioritize Back Road in the first phase of reducing the speed limit for all collector roads to 40 km/h.
