The City of Kelowna has announced the purchase of a 1.94-acre property located at 1910-1960 Dayton Street to extend Sutherland Avenue from Dickson Avenue to Dayton Street and create a future park space.
Derek Edstrom, Divisional Director of Partnerships and Investmest, said the acquisition is a great opportunity for the city to advance public amenities to support a densifying neighbourhood and ensure it will become a vibrant and livable hub for residents and workers.
“The future extension of Sutherland Avenue and creation of a new park, will provide capital infrastructure to enhance the connectivity, mobility, and livability of this area, while also protecting and restoring a valuable greenspace,” Edstrom said.
The city paid $12.3 million for the property.
