A
Lakeshore Walkway is currently being constructed by Cantex-Okanagan
Construction Ltd. This project has been approved for funding
through the Regional Significant Projects Gas Tax Rebate
Program.
The
walkway starts at the bottom of Peach Orchard Rd and
connects the Millennium Park Pavilion, Water Park, Dog
Beach, and Rotary Beach to the nature boardwalk at the
Summerland Resort. The Pathway effectively links the newly
expanded Kin Beach park space on Lakeshore Dr to the
Downtown core via Lakeshore Rd, the Centennial Pathway or
Peach Orchard Rd widening, with a safer corridor for
pedestrians.
The
asphalt portion of the walkway will be 3 meters wide and
have decorative stamped and colored asphalt along both
sides. There will be a portion paved with rock hard
surfacing south of the Racquets
Club. The project also includes pedestrian lighting,
protective traffic barriers and trees.
