Councillor hopes to focus next Saanich-Victoria meeting on Douglas corridor

Coun. Vic Derman was expected Monday night to ask for his colleagues' support.

Coun. Vic Derman is expected Monday night to ask for his colleagues' support in focusing the next joint Saanich-Victoria council meeting on planning opportunities along the Douglas Street corridor.

"What you want to do is choose the land-use you want, then use the transportation choices to accomplish that and support it, and I think we have a huge chance to do that there," Derman said.

Saanich mayor Frank Leonard and Victoria mayor Dean Fortin told the News in December that the Douglas Street corridor was their No. 1 choice for topic of discussion.

The next joint council meeting is tentatively scheduled for the first week in February at Saanich municipal hall.
