You may notice areas of the King’s Landing Wharf and Marina blocked off today.

Golder Associates and their barge operator are beginning a geotechnical investigation.

John Severino is the city’s managing director of Community Services.

He says the city needs to find out the cost estimate of rehabilitating the wharf or redeveloping a multi use pier and wave break.

That includes sampling and sub-soil and sub-water data in and around the current wharf.

Severino says the city will need to know structurally what would have to be done for either option.

He says the information will be used by the engineering firm in establishing the structural requirements needed.  City council will learn about that sometime in the fall.

The geotech probe is expected to conclude on August 18th.

 

Meantime, there area several items on Council’s agenda tonight (Tuesday).

The list includes a report on the replacement of the West Ferris Arena, a year-end financial projection and a report on 2018 budget timelines.

Other reports include a proposal for an all way stop at Main West and Cassells Streets and a noise bylaw exemption.

Last meeting, Councillor Mark King gave notice that he would be proposing a quiet zone for an area just off Trout Lake Road from Connaught to Romeo Court and Tiffany Court.

There are no scheduled public presentations.

The Meeting starts at 6:30.
