Project scope

What work is being done?

The road upgrades will include:

• 1.1 kilometres of new sidewalks, curbs, and gutters along the west side of Horizon Drive.
• 2.2 kilometres of new dedicated bike lanes on both sides of Horizon Drive for safer cycling.
• Upgraded street lighting, storm improvements and ditching.
• New road markings and signage to enhance visibility and safety for all users.

What to expect during construction

Construction activities may result in occasional noise, dust, dirt, and vibrations. Work outside of typical construction hours may be required on a temporary basis. Driveway accesses will be maintained, with only minor interruptions to allow for the movement of crews and equipment.

The City of West Kelowna will have a comprehensive traffic management plan for this project, and we will communicate the plan to the public in advance of any traffic pattern changes.

Key construction activities include:

• Mobilization of crews, equipment, and materials to the site.
• Completion of stormwater and road upgrades, as well as the installation of bike lanes and streetlights.
• Continuous access for pedestrians and cyclists.
• Coordination by the contractor to ensure residents within the work area retain access to their homes.
• Placement of signage and reader boards along the the work zone to help regulate traffic speeds.

Please note that access for transit and emergency vehicles will be maintained throughout all phases of construction.
