Shannon Lake Road Active Transportation Corridor Project

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

A new multi-use pathway and road upgrades have been constructed on Shannon Lake Road which enhances safety and has created new active transportation and healthy living opportunities.

The $5.2 million project was constructed in two sections and all work has been completed. Partial funding of up to $500,000 was provided under the B.C. Active Transportation Infrastructure Grant Program. Thank you to the Government of British Columbia!
