Reminder of Main Vehicle Entrance Into Neck Point Park Closed in August
NEWS RELEASE - Distributed July 24, 2014 10:30 AM
Summary
The City would like to remind residents and Neck Point Park users that Morningside Drive, the main vehicle entrance to Neck Point Park, will be closed from August 5th to September 1st. A joint construction project between the City of Nanaimo and Regional District of Nanaimo will take place at this time. The Regional District of Nanaimo will be replacing the Greater Nanaimo Pollution Control Centre sanitary sewer outfall pipe from 4600 Hammond Bay Road to Morningside Park east of Morningside Drive as well as the City of Nanaimo owned water main and Walley Creek storm culvert.
During this temporary road closure, there will be no vehicle access to the parking lot at Neck Point Park and the weekend overflow parking lot at Hammond Bay Elementary School. Neck Point Park will remain open during construction.
The public is encouraged to use other parks in the area or to access Neck Point Park from the trails at the end of Shores Drive. While parking is very limited on Shores Drive, more parking is available on Gulfview Drive (off Tiki Way) which is a short walk via a public walkway to Shores Drive.
Link to Strategic Plan: Upgrading the Walley Creek culvert to allow fish passage supports environmental enhancement and replacing the City owned water main supports asset management as indicated in the 2012-2015 Corporate Strategic Plan.
Key Points
- Morningside Drive will be closed from August 5th to September 1, 2014.
