The City of Kelowna couldn't even give them away. The concrete pillars from the former Chapman Parkade in Kelowna are going to be grinded down and reused. The Chapman Parkade at Lawrence and Pandosy was dismantled in 2001 to make way for a much larger one. The 90 concrete beams have been sitting at the Glenmore Landfill ever since. The city tried to give them away, but no luck. "We've been looking for someone to use them and we found some, but they just can't make them fit," says Civic Properties Manager, Randy Ferguson. He says the city would have been happy to give them away, "because it's going to cost money to crush them up." Ferguson says the concrete will be grinded and re-used for road base at the landfill and the metal rods will be salvaged. He can't say how much it's going to cost because the job is now up for tender.
