Our Parks - a connection for all

My Nanaimo would include a pedestrian and cycling bridge to Newcastle Island. This beautiful and historical Provincial Park could easily be a premier downtown attraction, helping to revitalize the downtown core and encouraging healthy activity. This lovely jewel is totally underutilized because of the cost of the ferry and the very limited times that it runs. A bridge could be designed over the shortest stretch of water and be incorporated into the path designs already in the works for the waterfront.
