Victoria Showcase Projects

Project 2 included quick-build AAA facilities on Lampson Street between Colville Road and Esquimalt Road, and on both Lampson Street and Tillicum Road between Colville Road and Craigflower Road.
• Seaton/Regina Corridor Upgrades: ISL completed the design and construction services for Phase 1 of the Seaton Street upgrade, completed this past spring, which was a pivotal step in the Seaton-Regina Corridor Upgrade project. This phase involved a comprehensive redesign of Seaton Street from Burnside Road to Hampton Road to establish a shared lane for cyclists, enhanced by the installation of concrete curb and gutter, and alternating on-street parking. Phase 2 is actively under construction, extending the reach of Seaton Street from Hampton Road to Regina Avenue. This phase continues the shared lane concept for cyclists established in Phase 1 and introduces additional elements to enhance the corridor's functionality. Phase 3 will focus on the section of Regina Avenue from Seaton Street to Tillicum Road, incorporating traffic-calming measures and infrastructure enhancements for a consistent and safe transportation network.
