Council is being asked to introduce and give first, second, and third readings to Traffic and Highways Bylaw No. 2241, 2026, an omnibus update covering parking enforcement, boulevard maintenance, and traffic regulations. The bylaw is proceeding as a single reading bundle, meaning adoption could follow at a subsequent meeting if no substantive amendments arise. The practical effect for contractors and developers is primarily on boulevard maintenance obligations, which may alter landscaping and hardscaping requirements for new builds, and on parking enforcement provisions that could shift on-street parking availability during construction staging. The traffic regulation changes have not been detailed in the available materials.

A Development Permit application for an undisclosed address in Central Saanich, BC, is scheduled for a public meeting on May 25, 2026. The applicant is proposing a new development on the property. No outcome has been released.
