Construction will begin this summer on a project for the Shepherd Road extension between Roxby Road and Rutland Road North.

For those interested, the public has been invited to view the detailed design on Wednesday, June 20 from 4 to 7 p.m. at Rutland Centennial Park.

City staff and consultants will be available to discuss the plans and answer questions.

Once complete, the extension will allow the new Rutland transit exchange to be fully operational and allow for improvements to Rutland Centennial Park.

“The extension of Shepherd Road will provide improved street connectivity and access for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users within the Rutland Town Centre,” said Andrew Albiston, City of Kelowna regional projects manager.

“The increased safety provides potential for higher participation in active transportation modes, transit and increased access to Rutland Centennial Park.”

Construction for the park improvements is anticipated for completion in the spring of 2019.
