New traffic signal intersection lights at Langford Parkway and Langford Lake Road were activated today on August 16 at 9 am.

It’s likely a very welcome traffic improvement for businesses, residents and commuters in the Westhills area.

It’s a busy intersection, with the busy West Shore Parkway roundabout in close proximity to the west of it (line painting done there yesterday). Two new SD62 schools will open nearby on Constellation Avenue in September. Belmont Secondary School is also in the area, on Langford Lake Road.

Business and services in the area include office buildings, library, YM-YWCA, and Tim Hortons.

===== MAYOR’s COMMENT:

Langford Mayor Stew Young says that upgrading of the intersection has always been in the city’s transportation plan.

Usually these sorts of upgrades are within a five-year plan. If funds from developers come in as part of a development, street improvements will be done at that time, he told Island Social Trends.
