Tyson - Keith Wilson Design-Build Project

Current Works

Keith Wilson Road – Concrete curb, sidewalks, storm water drainage works and street lighting have been installed.  Work continues driveway restoration, preparing the subgrade for the multi-use and asphalt paving.

Tyson Road – Storm water drainage works, concrete curbs, driveway accesses, and street lighting are 70% complete.  Concrete works and preparing the multi-use pathway subgrade continue. 

Background Information

The design-build project includes two separate urbanization projects, Tyson Road and Keith Wilson Road, to provide enhanced safety, more efficient vehicular movements and increased pedestrian / cyclist facilities. Both projects are high priorities in the City's Active Transportation Plan and are identified as a core route in the City's Cycle Vision Plan.

City staff were successful in obtaining $500,000 grants for both the Tyson Road Project and the Keith Wilson Road Project for a total of $1,000,000 from the B.C. Active Transportation Infrastructure Grant.
