Westside
Electoral Area Road Study
The
Regional District of Central Okanagan is
currently working on a roads study for the
Westside Electoral Area. The Regional
Board has awarded the consulting assignment
to EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd. in
partnership with St. Michel Consulting Inc. for the preparation of
the study. An initial start-up meeting
took place on October 13th, 2005 and it is
anticipated the study will be complete in
August 2006.
The study will be used
to identify roads on the Westside that are
in the greatest need of repair, identify
methods of repair and estimate costs to
improve roads to acceptable standards. The
study will also assist in determining the
level of road repair that could be done in
conjunction with other infrastructure works
throughout the Westside area.

Westside Stormwater Quality Management
Initiative
The Regional District of Central Okanagan
has completed a Stormwater Quality Management
program for the Westside.
Stakeholders, neighborhood groups and
individuals provided
their input through meetings and
questionnaires on various options that might
be used in a proactive effort to protect the
environment, by improving the quality of stormwater that collects in creeks, ditches
and storm sewers on the Westside.

Sewer Servicing Strategy
(replaces the Casa Loma/Lakeview and Glenrosa
Sewer Servicing Strategies)
The Glenrosa and Casa Loma Sewer
Servicing Strategy reports were originally
presented and adopted by the Regional Board
in 2004. Due to current construction
market conditions, the lack of Provincial
funding and various other items, it was
necessary to re-evaluate both the Casa
Loma/Lakeview and Glenrosa Sewer Servicing
Strategies.
Engineering Services staff updated both Sewer Servicing Strategies
and at the same time consolidated them to form one Sewer Servicing
Strategy. The updated strategy currently indicates the estimated
cost per residential unit to be $7,700 for both the Casa
Loma/Lakeview and Glenrosa areas.
In August 2006 the Regional Board was presented with and adopted a
consolidated and revised Sewer Servicing Strategy.

Development Cost Charge Analysis - Draft
Report - January 2004
In March 2001, the Regional District
retained Urban Systems Ltd. to prepare a
report regarding the cost to develop land in
the urbanized areas of the Westside

Developer Contributions. This report
has been reviewed by Regional District
staff, stakeholders of the Westside
Electoral Area and Committees of the
Regional Board and the Ministry of
Community, Aboriginal and Women's Services.

Westside Master Drainage
Plan
The Westside Master Drainage Plan was
commissioned in May 1997 by the Regional
