The Town has identified Lakewood Drive for reconstruction due to deficiencies with the water distribution and sewage collection systems. The road was constructed in 1971, and is now due for replacement of the inground works. The road will be reconstructed and the ditches reshaped and cleared of trees.

One problem with the reconstruction is the lack of information regarding drainage outlets to the Bay. The Town does not have any drawings related to the road construction nor an overall subdivision grading plan. Tatham Engineering will be completing a stormwater study for the area, and will be presenting a number of preliminary proposed solutions to improve local drainage.

Through the 2023 Town Budget process, it was decided that the Town would complete the detailed engineering for Lakewood Drive this year, but to temporarily delay construction in favour if higher priority projects. At this time, there is no set schedule for the start of construction.

Why Now?

Lakewood Drive's water system is sub-standard, the main is a 3” pipe and there is only one hydrant at the east end of the road. The sanitary system has deficiencies and is leaking. The project is advancing as part of the Town’s capital asset management.


Project Updates

June 25, 2025 - Draft removals plan available

The Town's Project Manager has recently issued a letter to all property owners to inform them that private landscaping and structures will need to be removed from the municipal right-of-way in advance of construction. The Town's engineering consultant has provided a draft removals plan to indicate the extent of required removals. This plan has not yet been finalized, and could change as details are confirmed in the final stages of design.

Staff Reports & Council Decisions


Public Consultation

Council has provided direction to advance the engineering design to the 90% stage, and then put the project on hold until an opportunity to advance to construction is available. Another Public Information Centre will be held before the project advances to final design.
