Press release from the City of West Kelowna on April 24, 2020:
Crews will close Upper Smith Creek Road, above Copper Ridge Drive, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday from April 27 to May 15 to allow for approved subdivision-related work.
During these times, crews will maintain access for emergency vehicles and local area residents only, meaning recreational users will be unable to use Upper Smith Creek Road to access Glen Canyon Regional Park and the Crown land recreational trails above Smith Creek.
The work will in no way affect accesses between Elliott Road and Copper Ridge Drive.
Upper Smith Creek Road will still be open evenings and weekends to ensure recreationalists can enjoy the popular trails outside of construction hours.
Crews also plan to have the road opened for the busy May long weekend.
Users must maintain safe social distancing of two meters when using all parks and trails.
