Council of the Township of Spallumcheen has been talking to the Ministry of Transportation (MoTI) for many years about options to improve safety for access to and from Highway 97A from the McLeod Subdivision and adjacent roadways. It is our understanding that MoTI has undergone preliminary investigations to look at options regarding Highway 97A and side road accesses. These investigations are typical as the Ministry reviews highway safety, functionality and maintenance of access options. At this time, there are no plans or funding for advanced design or construction of any changes to access or improvements in the area.
Our Council is planning to have engagement sessions and open houses in 2025 on variety of topics including access to McLeod Subdivision. MoTI staff will be invited to participate in those sessions where it is planned that discussion of this access will occur so that residents can provide feedback directly to Council and Ministry staff. The Township will be sure to publicize when these information sessions are occurring and would anticipate that these would be scheduled in the spring or early summer of 2025.
