On April 13th, 2010 - the City of Williams Lake put out a press release on the Mackenzie Avenue Rehabilitation project advising that delays were inevitable and that the project would include water pipe replacement. But no dates were included on when this would start
However, on April 19th - I observed some public works occurring on Mackenzie Avenue in front of Taylor's Automotive & Tasko Supplies but I assumed it was connected with the City's General Capital program for 2010.
The next day at the Williams Lake City Council meeting (April 20th), the Mayor announced that work had started with regard to the Mackenzie Avenue Rehab Project and that is when it clicked that the work I observed on April 19th was connected to the overall Mackenzie Avenue Rehab Project.
If the City knew on April 13th that work would commence on the Mackenzie Avenue Rehab Project on April 19th, then they (City of Williams Lake) should have said so on April 13th and provided City residents with a rough timeline as to when the work would start and work would be completed. That would adhere to the principle of proactive communications and not reactive communications
