2207: Report on Infrastructure Design and CoC negotiations
The engineer’s design has been redesigned for the City of Castlegar. The contractor found a better way with excavation and that will save us money. Some of the City of Castlegar’s requirements will not be necessary with the excavation. The sidewalk issue is not required in other 14th Ave locations, so we are wondering why we must have one.
