Shannon Lake Road Active Transportation Corridor Project

Storm Detention Tank installation in Kinsmen Parking Lot

Crews are currently working on the installation of a storm detention tank in the Kinsmen parking lot. This important project includes the installation of storm piping along the entire project area, extending from the lower Kinsmen field to Swite Road, where previously no storm piping was in place. The new storm detention tank will capture and manage stormwater runoff from neighborhoods to the north of the parking lot, including areas such as Shannon Way, Shannon Ridge, Asquith, and Upper Sundance.

Further details regarding Section 2 of the project will be provided in spring 2025.

Enhancing road safety and creating an active transportation corridor for our community along Shannon Lake Road

Construction of a new multi-use pathway and road upgrades on Shannon Lake Road will enhance safety and create new active transportation and healthy living opportunities.
