WHAT'S HAPPENING ON CITIFIED VICTORIA
I've been told that you have to wait for the pedestrian to cross to the other side before you can start moving again.

I'm almost positive it's OK to proceed as soon as he is halfway across. You have to yield to a pedestrian when he is is on the side of the road that you are travelling on (or approaching the side you are travelling on). In fact, if I'm travelling down a two-way street and a pedestrian begins to cross from the left side he has the right of way over vehicles travelling in my opposite direction but not over me (untill he gets halfway or close enough to halfway that I would put him in danger by not yielding).

^I don't think that is correct. If a crosswalk is occupied you must stop. Once the pedestrian has crossed your lane of traffic you may proceed.
Life's a journey......so roll down the window and enjoy the breeze.

What the heck is going on with Foul Bay? They're putting a (completely unnecessary) sidewalk in and it's taking them months and months to move a couple blocks.

Colwood moves on updating ‘strip’
Goldstream News Gazette
February 07, 2012 8:53 AM
Colwood is moving ahead with beautifying its section of Island Highway, otherwise known as the Colwood strip.
The City plans to issue a tender this week for a sidewalk on the west side of Island Highway, from Great Canadian Casino to Wale Road. The plan includes building bike lanes on both sides of the road.
Colwood is matching a $395,000 provincial grant with accumulated development fees to fund the project. The City is eager to connect sidewalks to work already done by West Shore Parks and Recreation and View Royal.
“There are challenges with that design. There is a gas main in the way,” said Colwood engineer Michael Baxter. “But we expect to go to tender early (this) week.”
Colwood also wants to create a crosswalk across Island Highway near the recreation centre entrance. Baxter said that is a tricky project, but the City wants to create better pedestrian safety in that area. “The crosswalk design is not finished yet,” he said. “The challenge is building a cross walk that doesn’t interfere with (vehicle) access.”

Congratulations Colwood (and View Royal) for completing necessary sidewalks on 'the strip'.
