“Kaspa serves as the primary access point to Mount Tzouhalem, seeing approximately 50 per cent of the 80,000 annual visitor trips to the mountain through it,” said a notice issued by the Municipality of North Cowichan. “As a result, parking is at times overwhelmed at points and spills over into and affecting this entrance’s neighbours.”
Several trail sections are also affected by the construction.
The lower section of the Double D trail is closed until further notice as it gets realigned to make way for parking.
The lower section of the Danalyzer trail is also closed until further notice.
