An open house will be held at Lakeview Elementary School in Quesnel (1525 Beryl Road) June 1, 2022, at 7:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. to discuss the proposed Gook Road Street lighting project.
The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) through their rural road improvement program has approved a grant for $9650.00 towards the installation of 19 LED lights on existing poles in the Gook Road neighbourhood. Any additional costs for installation have been identified in the 2022 CRD budget pending grant approval and resident support.
“We are thrilled to have another grant approved through ICBC working with B.C. Hydro to possibly install an additional 19 LED lights in the Gook Road area (off Highway 97 and ending at Dragon Estates Trailer Park). Residents continue to communicate that safety enhancements like this are extremely important, so I am happy that there is another opportunity for this, and I encourage everyone to come out on June 1 to the open house", stated Cariboo Regional District Electoral Area "A" Director Mary Sjostrom.
There are 373 homes in the Gook Road area in which BC Hydro has identified 19 poles for the newer LED streetlights. This is a continuation of safety enhancements in Area A of the Cariboo Regional District like the Maple Avenue corridor streetlight installation in 2021.
All Gook Road residents are encouraged to attend the open house to get a great overview of the proposed project, review the proposed area, hear about proposed timelines, and more details on estimated annual household costs. Director Sjostrom and Cariboo Regional District staff will be on hand to present information, answer questions and get Gook Road resident feedback.
Online details for those that can not attend will also be available at Street Lighting - Cariboo Regional District (cariboord.ca).
