Talking transit and traffic calming in the City of Nanaimo

We're marking Nanaimo's move from 2025 into 2026, with a focus on transportation. We talked transit and traffic calming with Jamie Rose, the City of Nanaimo’s Manager of Transportation about how things changed in the last year, as well as what's on the radar for the next one.

We'll also touch on what some recent council decisions around active transportation projects mean for the city, and we'll hear a bit about how Nanaimo prioritizes what gets upgraded where.
