31st Avenue Project To Continue Into November


The 31st Avenue road project in downtown Vernon is going to take a little longer to complete, according to a City engineer. Mark Dowhaniuk says the City and BC Transit have been involved in some changes to the design of the bus terminal by Cenotaph Park. That's due in part to efforts to save one of the big trees.Dowhaniuk also says that early on in the project, there was some trouble finding old utility lines. He admits things are ``a little behind'' but, if the weather holds for paving, work is expected to wrap up later in November. Dowhaniuk says one extra step will involve pouring concrete pads by the park to ensure the road can hold the weight of the heavy transit buses.
