Council to vote on 1st & Pacific cleanup
7/21/2008 at 10:42 AM
I see that council will be voting tonight on a $2.2 million proposal to take the contaminated 1st & Pacific site in the right direction. From my understanding of the article in the paper today, essentially what's being proposed involves sealing off much of the seriously contaminated area to prevent it from effecting other areas.. with the idea that parts of it will be re-usable. Councillor Black mentions that he would like part of it to be used as an extension of our current bike path system to extend it from the 1st street bridge.
The price tag is to be split evenly between the city and province, resigning to the fact that there's no private entity that we can get to foot any of the bill.
