Juan de Fuca Velodrome Gets Reprieve?
Juan de Fuca Velodrome Gets Reprieve?
Lister Farrar has sent us the following information on the Juan de Fuca velodrome situation in Victoria.
The Victoria Times Colonist carried a story on Wednesday (November 19th) saying the municipality of Langford is tired of waiting for the stadium proposed for the velodrome site, and is going ahead with its own stadium - see story here. The municipality is planning to host the tenants discussed for the Juan de Fuca stadium. Langford is a partner in the Westshore Parks and Recreation Society that owns and was planning to replace the velodrome with a soccer, football, and rugby stadium.
I think this is pretty big news for the survival of the velodrome. It means that a facility is being built less than 2 kilometres away from the Juan de Fuca site, and all the proposed tenants will be able to use the new stadium.
