Work Underway for Park Revitalization
Beginning August 1, crews will begin the next stage of work on the Dyke Road Park Revitalization Project. This stage will include:
- Tree and excavation/grading work
- Creating new estuarine habitat and fish channel
- Installing screw piles for the new boardwalk to come
Following completion of this work, a boardwalk is expected to be installed in the fall, with parking lot construction in late 2024/early 2025. All work is off the roadway so traffic disruptions are not expected. However, drivers should be aware of workers and equipment in the area.
The parking lot and viewing area are slated to be closed from May 23 until the fall of 2025 to coincide with the Sewer Conveyance Project.
Background
Partnering with the Stewardship Centre for BC and K’ómoks Guardian Watchmen, the CVRD is working to complete a shoreline restoration project to demonstrate a nature-based solution for shoreline management and coastal adaptation, while providing a boost in amenties and features at Dyke Road Park. Other project contributors include Project Watershed, Guardians of Mid-Island Estuaries, and the Pacific Salmon Foundation, with technical support from coastal engineers and landscape architects.
This project will bring a revitalized park space with new amenities for the community to enjoy.
