Project Update (October 10, 2023):
The concrete slab, which has served as a parking lot and once the floor of the old packinghouse building, is scheduled for removal beginning Tuesday, October 10, 2023. Work is anticipated to be completed in November 2023. This work has been scheduled with short notice due to unforeseen external circumstances.
Park users are asked to use street parking as the concrete slab area will no longer be available for vehicle parking.
Project Background:
Wharf Park, established at the site of an old CPR train dock, is a popular lakefront amenity in Electoral Area “E” (Naramata). It is one of three public beachfront parks in the community. In 2016, the RDOS acquired adjacent properties in order to expand Wharf Park. The acquired properties include the site of an old packinghouse building on the north side of 1st Street and the site of the former Country Squire restaurant on the south side of 1st Street. The intent of the project is to unify and upgrade the parcels of RDOS parkland and to expand this community amenity.
Project Location:
The project is located at the intersections of 1st Street, Anna Avenue and 3rd Street, in the community of Naramata, British Columbia.
Recap of the Public Consultation Process:
October 2017, RDOS seeks community input regarding potential 1st Street road closure and enhancements of Wharf Park
2017/2018, Shoreline flooding and damage interrupts public engagement process
March 2019, Preliminary concept design presented to Naramata Parks and Recreation Commission, member comments received
May 2019, Public meeting held to receive input to inform the concept design
June 2019, Final concept completed and presented to the Naramata Parks and Recreation Commission.
Project Scope:
Generally, the work will consist of:
Temporary closure of 3rd Street in order to adjust the roadway alignment and relocate shallow/overhead utilities to meet the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) requirements.
Long-term closure and demolition of 1st Street, to unify RDOS parklands.
Removal and replacement of MoTI stormwater system.
Detailed landscape and irrigation design work.
Demolition and removal of concrete slab (old packinghouse).
