(Oregon Coast) – Here’s some important travel planning for the Oregon coast: do NOT plan. Simply hit the beach, wander without a destination in mind and keep your eye on the details.

The properties that were discussed by the committee on April 12 have been designated for multi-family residential development in Langford’s Official Community Plan since 1996. That plan was devised with a great deal of public input and duly reviewed publicly and adopted through a democratic process by a democratically elected council. The land use that is being proposed was also supported by a 1999 amendment to the Official Community Plan that specifically looked at downtown revitalization and was again supported in 2008 when the City of Langford adopted its new Official Community Plan.

Saanich’s chief constable said whenever there’s an issue, it echoes through the lunchroom, gym and patrol room. “But right now, it’s radio silence because the system is working,” he said. “Officers feel much safer and the coverage and reliability is much better in the new system.”
