Pearkes Drive Multi-Use Pathway

Latest Status

The City of Revelstoke received a grant from the British Columbia Active Transportation Infrastructure Grant Program to construct a Multi-Use Pathway on Pearkes Drive from the existing Greenbelt at Allen Road to Columbia Park Elementary. In 2025, the City plans to construct the section of pathway between Laforme Boulevard and Colbeck Road.


Overview

In 2022 Stantec Consulting Ltd. completed a Transportation Master Plan on behalf of the City, which acts as a guiding document for the future of Revelstoke’s transportation network, in the pursuit of a sustainable mountain community. Building on this document, McElhanney completed a Columbia Park Active Transportation Plan, which provided an assessment of existing active mode connectivity in the Columbia Park neighbourhood and provides recommendations for new infrastructure.

In Fall 2024, McElhanney Ltd undertook design for a Multi-Use Pathway on Pearkes Drive, connecting the existing Greenbelt at Allen Road to the Columbia Park Elementary School, to support a funding application to the British Columbia Active Transportation Infrastructure Grant Program.


CONSTRUCTION LOCATION

Pearkes Drive between Laforme Boulevard and Colbeck Road.


CONSTRUCTION IMPACT

Sections of road will require closures throughout the construction period. Notices will be delivered to impacted residents a minimum of 48 hours prior to planned shutdowns or road closures. Expect equipment noise and increased numbers of construction vehicles. Road closures and detours will be clearly marked with traffic cones, and traffic control persons when required. Please follow all detour routes, drive cautiously, and protect our cone zone workers.
