The City of Prince Rupert is expanding on the information flow when it comes to the growing list of infrastructure work ahead for the community, with the Rupert Talks portal on the city website now offering updates on a range of ongoing or soon to start infrastructure projects.
We made note of the launch of the program yesterday as part of our review of Tuesday's Council session, where City Council approved moving the community's Water treatment program to an RFP process.
But the volume of information now available on the Rupert Talks pages goes a bit further than just that one project.
The newest addition to the Rupert Talks portfolio was introduced by the City through a social media message on Thursday.
The infrastructure information sharing initiative opens with an introduction to the current issues facing the city and some of the success to date and work that is ongoing towards them.
The review then shifts to a look at what's ahead for the next few years on the City's infrastructure radar.

Among the projects two come with a bit more detail, along with some frequently asked questions notes:
Water Treatment Infrastructure plans
Two other initiatives in the Wastewater Treatment plans and those to move the Public Works Department to the MacCarthy GM site also have some short notes, with their own FAQ listings found as part of the right hand column to the Infrastructure page.
You can also create an account and log on to ask your own questions related to Infrastructure projects and planning, you can access the registration page and the Question forum at the bottom of the Engagement page.
A review of some of the past notes on the city's infrastructure and Major projects can be explored through our archive page.
Maybe they can add the city cleanup campaign. I am thinking the Belmont, Roses, the Angus and the boarded-up apartment building on 2nd ave. Some of these fires happened over two years ago. Councilors should be asking questions at council meetings until they are cleaned up.
ReplyDeleteThe lack of pride in the city is apparent. The community wants better. Tourist season is fast approaching, do we leave these properties as is for another year?
Good point that the Tourist season is fast approaching … so why did the PRPA close the visitors centre from now until probably August?
DeleteThe real irony of the Belmont site is that the owners have been very vocal critics of City Hall for cleaning up the downtown.
DeleteOne recalls their objection to allowing recreational cannabis stores in the downtown for fear of their property losing value.
Yet when it comes to their own business burning down, they can’t be bothered. Why?
The port is free to do what it pleases. The city of Prince Rupert has an obligation to maintain a standard that is considered acceptable. If leaving burn out buildings stand for a couple of years is acceptable to you and council once again I will ask, Where is the Pride?
ReplyDeletethe port has an obligation to the public interest as a crown corporation (ie. owned by taxpayers). They should not free to do as they please.
DeleteWhy don’t they buy up some vacant properties and redevelop them like Larry Beasley & Co. Suggested as part of Vision 2030?
