Master Transportation Plan

The Master Transportation Plan [PDF/16.2MB] (2026) includes the vision "Campbell River is a community where residents have transportation options that are safe, comfortable, affordable and accessible to all ages and abilities."  

The MTP includes the following short-term (one to three years) cycling improvements:

  • review of the Hilchey Road corridor and implementation of changes to promote safety for all road users,
  • completion of the neighbourhood bikeway on Birch Street, and 
  • new neighbourhood bikeways on Cheviot Road and the Thulin-Murphy-Galerno corridor (from Rockland Road to downtown).

Greenways Loop

It's a 28 km, wheelchair accessible, recreational trail linking Campbell River’s Forests, River, Ocean and Greenways (FROG). The Loop’s vision, design, construction and maintenance include time, money and resources from countless volunteers and organizations.

Almost every Campbell River resident lives within 5 km of the Loop.
