Cranbrook, BC (July 29, 2024) – A new interactive, online map has been launched on the City of Cranbrook website to help make locations and updates on Capital Works projects more accessible to the public, Council and City Administration.

Administration provided a virtual tour of the new story map, along with a status update on the various 2024 Capital Works projects to Council on Monday night.

“The goal of this interactive story map is to make information much more accessible about our capital works projects, and help provide up-to-date information in a user-friendly format,” says Curtis Mummery, Manager of Roads and Infrastructure. “Staff put in a lot of work to get this map going and we are excited to share it with our residents.”

You can find the story map and the latest information on all our Capital Works projects anytime at www.cranbrook.ca/capitalworks.

Meantime, the 2024 Capital Works program is in fully swing, with all our major projects awarded and some of them already completed including:

•    Lagoons Pipeline Phase 2 Reconstruction - Complete 
•    Highway 95A Watermain Crossing – Complete
•    2024 Paving Program – Complete
•    12th Ave S Reconstruction (2nd St S to 3rd St S) – Underway 
•    6th St S Reconstruction (3rd Ave S to 5th Ave S) – Underway

To date all the projects are on schedule and on budget. The only project not yet at the construction phase is the Lagoons Phase 3 project, which is set to start construction in early August.

The City of Cranbrook gratefully acknowledges the financial contributions of the Canada Community Building Fund (former Gas Tax Fund) toward all these important infrastructure projects.
