District of Squamish is planning an intersection and traffic-calming improvements in town.
The initial work at the Clarke Drive and Highway 99 intersection will be undertaken to improve pedestrian safety.
The pedestrian safety work will complement improvement works that were completed by a developer when the interchange was upgraded.
According to a district report, the ongoing public complaints and requests will require additional budget funding.
As part of budget process, the district also plans to install a catch basin and storm sewer down the slope to Coho Park
The district is also undertaking a drainage repair project at Skyline Place.
Drainage from the road right of way currently ponds on Skyline Place and overflows onto two private properties causing nuisance flooding and issues relating to ice on steep driveways in the winter.
This project involves installing a catch basin and storm sewer down the slope to Coho Park in order to alleviate drainage issues.
It is the district’s responsibility to manage drainage from road right of ways.
