Phase 2 of the Okanagan Rail Trail KM0 Gateway Project has begun.The Regional District North Okanagan (RDNO) developed a nature-focused design with Indigenous inspiration in collaboration with the Okanagan Indian Band (OKIB) and Friends of the Okanagan Rail Trail (FORT).The remainder of the RDNO’s section of the Okanagan Rail Trail will be open during this time, and KM0 will reopen just in time for the long weekend.Work required to install the shade structures will result in a full closure of the KM0 Gateway to the access ramp near West Kal Road.

“This work is a part of our long-term plan for the KM0 Gateway and is another step towards the completion of Phase 2 for this amazing and interpretive project.Phase 1 of the project saw the restoration of the adjacent land restored to its natural beauty using native plants and grasses.
