Prince George City Council will discuss installing vehicle gates at the ends of the Lower Patricia Boulevard encampment at tomorrow’s (Wednesday) meeting.
According to a staff report to Council, City staff are recommending the measure to restrict vehicle access, preventing additional large trailers and campers from being brought into the area, as well as the deposit of refuse.
They say this is a necessary step in the ongoing management of the site, citing several fires occurring in recreational vehicles and illegal dumping.
Authorized personnel, including City Staff, RCMP, BC Ambulance and Prince George Fire Rescue would be provided with keys for access to maintain emergency services to the site.
Additionally, the staff report states foot traffic would not be impeded by the measures proposed, and the ability to shelter on the site would not be impacted either.
Other items to be discussed at tomorrow’s (Wednesday) includes the City’s snow and ice control policy, and unallocated funds from the 2025 grants budget.
