Supported by a generous commitment from Canfor Radium for public pathway space carved from its log yard, and the work of the Village’s public works crew, improvements are coming to Sewer Treatment Plant Road in Radium Hot Springs.

Although its name is purely functional, the road serves the Village’s Sinclair Creek Trail Network, Rotary Dog Park, the Radium Transfer Station, and the Village’s public works compound and wastewater utility site.

You may (probably) have noticed the pink flags along the inside of the road.

Within two weeks or so, the large concrete Jersey barriers on the inside of the road will be relocated to line up with the flagging, and the road surface will given a top level of gravel and compaction.

These steps are part of planned upgrades that will also include road drainage and pathway improvements.

In recent years additions of the dog park and especially the transfer station have resulted in an increase in traffic on Sewer Treatment Plant Road. Correspondingly upgrades are required.

In addition to automobile access, Sewer Treatment Plant Road is a part of the Village’s Active Transportation Network and serves pedestrian and bicycle traffic.  The pathway commitment from Canfor is at the south end of its log yard and is via a pending statutory right of way three metres wide.  The flagging at the east edge of the Canfor log yard shows the extent of the Village’s existing road allowance in this area.
