Packinghouse Lane Improvements
Why we're making improvements
We are making improvements to the Packinghouse Lane corridor and connecting intersections on Airport Street and Similkameen Avenue. These improvements will improve safety for pedestrians and road users, improve traffic operations in the area, and accommodate current and future land development projects in the surrounding area of Airport Street.
A new 46 unit affordable housing development at 5931 Airport Street has been funded through BC Housing and the first phase in currently under construction. This development is also contributing funds towards the road improvements with the Town of Oliver covering the remaining costs.

Through public consultation a decision was made to close vehicle traffic in the existing laneway and create a multi-use pathway around the mall, connecting from Co-op Avenue to Airport Street. It will create a safer intersection from the Mall north entrance and Co-op Ave.
