April 2021: Matthews West announces the next phase of Oceanfront Squamish’s utility installation.

Main Road Utilities construction project will include the preload for the extension of the Oceanfront main road as well as the preload and ground densification for the Presentation Center/Public House. This project will also pull municipal utilities down the remainder of the main road to service future development.

Access to the Oceanfront will be affected in areas and trails adjacent to the construction. This map outlines the restricted areas for this construction project.

Matthews West has obtained all necessary Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada approvals and work will be overseen by a Qualified Environmental Professional at all times.

Enhanced safety precautions will be taken through increased signage and onsite security personnel. We strive to maintain as much access as is safely possible, however some access to the southern area of the Oceanfront peninsula will be closed starting beginning of April 2021 - and will remain closed for the duration of construction. This construction project is expected to last until the end of June 2021.

Oceanfront Park Trail Closure

In anticipation of building the last phase of the Oceanfront Main Road and the Presentation Centre, Matthews West will be mobilizing construction crews on site for the initial stages of construction; clearing and grubbing of trees and debris, driftwood removal and preloading.

Some areas of the Oceanfront and the Oceanfront Trail will be closed from time to time in order to keep the public safe and to complete the work in a timely manner. Keeping in mind how well loved and busy this area and the walking trail are, Matthews West will make every effort to ensure public access, where and when appropriate. Length of construction is anticipated to be from January- April 2021, at which time the main beach will be closed and there will be intermittent gate closures on the north and south ends of the walking trail. We greatly appreciate the efforts of the public during this time, by adhering to trail and park closures, in order to ensure everyone’s safety.

Matthews West looks in anticipation toward the future, to the completion of the Oceanfront Park, and is thankful to the community of Squamish in their efforts to realize this shared vision.

Please refer to the map below for Closure Areas and the Public Circulation Route. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please contact Kristen Gauley at Matthews West, [email protected].

We will be closing the the Oceanfront Park to vehicles again this weekend and for weekends going forward for the foreseeable future.

In an attempt to mitigate this influx and for the safety of our community, we will take the precautionary measure of restricting vehicular access to the Oceanfront Park by closing the gate on the access road from the evening of Friday, April 17th to the morning of Monday, April 20th. Additionally, any vehicles parking outside of the gate, along the access road may be towed. We hope this will deter non-local visitors.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation, action, and understanding.
