    Renewal is coming to Beech Street this summer - NEWS RELEASE

    Upgrades along Beech Street in the downtown core will be completed this summer, an extension to upgrades that have been completed in earlier phases nearby.

    With the design phase nearing completion, the City of Campbell River expects work to begin this summer to further improve services and infrastructure along Beech Street, between Alder Street and 10th Avenue.

    • Infrastructure updates: New water, sewer and storm mains and services
    • New roadways: Roadway constructed to meet Urban Local Commercial Standards
    • Pedestrian-friendly upgrades: Improved lighting, crosswalks and boulevards
    • Aesthetics: Upgraded surface finishes matching the adjacent Downtown Revitalization Project (including new tree planting and landscaping)
