In 2007, West Saanich Road was upgraded through the core of Brentwood Bay. The project included enhanced sidewalks, bike lanes, a roundabout and extensive lighting and landscaping. Although functional underground Hydro and Telus systems were not able to be constructed within the project budget at that time, the Council of the day had the foresight to construct the necessary duct work for future conversion of that section of roadway to a full underground system.

The District applied for and received a one third grant from BC Hydro and accordingly Council approved this project to proceed in 2009. BC Hydro has completed the undergrounding project and is now in the process of connecting all the affected businesses to the new underground system. It is expected the overhead infrastructure will be removed in 2011.
