3121 Community Events Projects for 2018 include Voyageur Park parking lot and Exploration Drive Work on Devon’s 2018 road improvement projects is now underway. Projects slotted for 2018 include a much needed upgrade to the Voyageur Park Parking Lot and reconstruction of two small sections of road along Exploration Drive in Devon’s industrial park. Voyageur Park Parking Lot Upgrade Earlier this spring, Devon Council approved the conceptual design of a new parking lot layout for Voyageur Park. This new layout will increase the parking capacity of the park and provide boat launch users their own parking lot with access to the North Saskatchewan River to alleviate much of the traffic issues currently experienced in Voyageur Park. The existing parking lot with access to the river will be repurposed and be only for boat launch users (trucks and trailers). A new parking lot will be built next to the boat launch lot and will serve those looking to enjoy the park for the day. Our goal throughout this project is to have as minimal disruptions as possible for our park users. Please, follow the signage around Voyageur Park to help us get the project done as quickly and safely as possible. Exploration Drive Reconstruction Two sections of road along Exploration Drive will be under construction this summer to pave a section of road by the Town Shop and to rehabilitate another small section of road. We expect both the Voyageur Park parking lot upgrade and Exploration Drive reconstruction projects to be complete by mid-August this summer.
