Tofino: Mackenzie Beach Road improvements.Â
Council has approved a development variance permit for the Mackenzie Beach Road improvement project. The permit requests several variances including (not limited to): the Travel Lanes reduced from 3.5 to 3.0 meters each in consideration of the available width of the existing road footprint and to support traffic calming objectives and the MUP reduced from 3.0 to 2.0 in consideration of the available width of the existing road footprint and budgetary constraints. The proposed variance is a result of developing the final iteration of the Mackenzie Beach Road design, and the final step to be completed prior to tendering and constructing the road. The project is proposed to get underway in late 2023 or early 2024. A tender is expected to be issued in the next month.
Comox:Â Proposed 16 duplex units in 8 buildings.

Construction on those units are wrapping up with 1350 sq.ft. 3 bed, 3 bath units for sale from $679,900 to $709,900.
