Vernon city council will receive progress reports on several major capital works projects at its regular meeting Tuesday.
Construction on the 43rd Avenue Corridor Improvement Project is set to begin in early September. Phase one will focus on a multi-use path stretching from 32nd Street to 35th Street, while irrigation main replacements are planned for fall 2025.
Work continues at Alexis Park, where the irrigation system is being upgraded. The park remains closed to the public, with ball diamond and general park areas already completed and work ongoing at the horseshoe pit. The project is designed to enhance water efficiency and sustainability, with a reopening scheduled for Sept. 30.
On Smith Road, contractors have started earthworks as part of the city’s Priority Drainage Improvement Program. The project involves ditch re-grading and storm main installation to improve water flow along a high-risk route and reduce erosion. Completion is expected by November.
