Remaining works anticipated in spring 2025.
$590,000
Constructing an EV Charging site in Lake Country in 2024 has been the culmination of many years of effort. The District specifically sought a project model wherein the District could provide the space and a partner would administer the chargers. The District achieved an operating agreement with BC Hydro early in 2024. The project meets a number of objectives associated to the Climate Action Reserve regarding the funding, and is aligned to Council's Strategic Priorities.
Construction will include re-purposing the civil works at the north end of the Pelmewash Parkway to situate the EV Charging Area. BC Hydro has installed and will administer the EV Chargers. The project will also include some amenities like shade areas, picnic tables, portable washrooms and bus shelters. Improved mobility by way of a multi-use pathway and connectivity to the rail trail along with additional regular parking is planned.
