Port Edward March community update notes of progress on housing, roads


The salutations for March from Port Edward Mayor Knut Bjorndal have brought residents of the District an update on some of the work of Council with the mayor making note of a few key themes of interest for the community.

The update making note of the engineering work now in motion this year towards Ocenview Road and the resurfacing plans for Sunset Drive. The ongoing work on the roads coming after last year's major work on Wildwood and Evergreen.

Housing is also a focus for the community bulletin, Mayor Bjorndal and Council noting of the housing plans for the old Port Edward School Site and ongoing momentum for the Alder Avenue area, with the latter to see contractors on site in the months ahead towards development of the District's newest subdivision.

The Budget process for 2022 and the welcome news of the removal of the Scotch Cap barge also gained some attention for this months community notes with the Mayor also noting of their ongoing work towards the other abandoned vessel in the Port Edward Harbour.

"We are now waiting for clarity and a timeline for the removal of the second abandoned vessel, the Fair Wind. This process is cumbersome as it involves the Coast Guard, Transport Canada and the Prince Rupert Port Authority." --Mayor Knut Bjorndal from the Port Edward update for March

The District also provided a check list of some of their Council highlights from the month of February.
