Saanich seeks more info on ambitious Uptown plan

The District of Saanich is continuing to explore a longstanding plan to create a municipal hub along the Uptown Douglas corridor.

On Monday night, Saanich council asked staff to clarify a few items before sending the proposal to public hearing. The plan looks at the potential use of a 155-hectare area for the next several decades. The goal is to make the gateway to Greater Victoria’s core a catalyst for housing, transportation and economic development. Saanich Mayor said he expects staff to report back with their findings next month.
