Priority Drainage Improvements - Kokanee Rd, Eastside Rd, Smith Rd, Okanagan Landing Rd

The Priority Drainage Improvement project is an annually funded project to help manage emerging drainage issues as well as high priority overland flow routes identified in the Drainage Infrastructure Prioritization Plan (DIPP). The DIPP identified a prioritized strategy to invest in drainage improvements and the areas identified in this project were identified as a priority for the City to complete improvements to. The project covers three different areas along the Eastside Road area and Smith Creek:

1. Ditching improvements along Eastside and Okanagan Landing Road.

2. Ditching and storm main improvements along Smith Road.

3. Ditching and storm main improvements along Kokanee Road.

The drainage improvements are designed to accommodate major events and take into account potential impacts from climate change. The City is completing design and working to retain a qualified contractor to complete the upgrades in 2025.
