Project Update 3 - Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2026.

The City of West Kelowna is in the process of retaining a civil construction contractor to complete the remaining construction works, this work is tentatively scheduled to start as early as the week of Sept. 14, 2026.

The City has taken over coordination of the project following the contractor default and has developed procurement packages for the remaining scopes of work.

Capital and Engineering departments presented a direct award recommendation for paving at the Sept. 8 council meeting. The proposed award of the asphalt works represents a significant milestone toward project completion.

Emil Anderson Construction (EAC) Inc. has been awarded the contract for paving for the remainder of project.

Residents can anticipate asphalt paving to take place in mid-October, with landscaping remediation works following paving. Residents should begin seeing visible progress in the coming weeks.

Overall, project completion is currently anticipated for November 2026.

REMAINING WORK FOR 2026

The next phase of the project, extending from Shale Ridge Place to the existing sidewalk south of Horizon Court, will include:

• Road widening and culvert extensions
• Street lighting
• Asphalt paving
• Line painting
• Landscaping
• Frontage restoration
• Completion of outstanding deficiencies

Landscaping activities are currently underway as topsoil placed along the front lawns on Horizon Drive is part of the planned lawn restoration. The City plans to hydro-seed these areas in the fall, which will allow the grass seeds to germinate and establish in the new topsoil.
