A year later, and the intersection at Church and Throup Road has yet to see any pedestrian improvements.

Sooke Mayor Maja Tait said she is extremely dissatisfied with the lack of work being done, as there are many problem areas around town affecting the safety of pedestrians.

Last year, the project was unable to be completed due to uncooperative weather, and the same was true for this spring. However, Tait said she is unsure of what the hold up is now.

B次元官网网址淥ur staff is trying to pin down the contractor to complete the work,B次元官网网址� said Tait. B次元官网网址淎ll over the place people are behind schedule on so many different things because of the demand on trades, so we are doing our best to get it completed.B次元官网网址�

She explained that itB次元官网网址檚 important to at least get lines painted because careless motorists might not pay attention to where the road is and swerve over into the pedestrianB次元官网网址檚 access point.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 annoyed that itB次元官网网址檚 not finished, and that weB次元官网网址檝e been put off this year continuously. It should have been done a long time ago as far as IB次元官网网址檓 concerned,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 frustrating for me that this is the level of service that Sooke is getting when thereB次元官网网址檚 a demand for improvements in many areas.B次元官网网址�

Teresa Sullivan, chief administrative officer at the District of Sooke, said that along with the walkable paved shoulder improvements on Grant Road and Golledge, the District is working on getting the lines at Church and Throup painted.

B次元官网网址淲e had an issue with our line painting contractor in that they have been repeatedly delayed over a span of months, so the District of Sooke has a new contractor to compete the works,B次元官网网址� said Sullivan.

She added that they will be installing tuff post standing delineators along the lines once they are painted.

B次元官网网址淭he tuff post delineators have just arrived within the past couple days, and a request for quote to have a contractor install them will likely go out,B次元官网网址� she said.

B次元官网网址淭hese require the painting to be complete because they sit directly on the fog line, so weB次元官网网址檙e looking at late September or early October as a final completion date for everything, so long as things go relatively smoothly from this point onward.B次元官网网址�
