Chevron Corporation is conducting a soil sampling program in the area surrounding the corner of Bowen Island Trunk Road and Cardena Drive as part of environmental remediation on land that was previously used as a fuel storage facility.
Last month, drilling was conducted on the roadway in preparation for soil sampling that will take place from November 12 to November 22, 2024, in the same locations.
Bowen Island Municipality has confirmed that Chevron Corporation’s Traffic Control Plan ensures that:
- Adequate flagging staff will be on site to direct traffic and will marshal the ferry lineup from beginning to end with guidance from BIM.
- Two lanes will always be available for ferry unloading.
- No lane closures or work will occur on weekdays before 7:30am or after 3:15pm to accommodate student pick-up/drop-off and school bus access.
- The 15 minute pick-up/drop-off parking spaces on Cardena Drive will remain available during all pick-up/drop-off times.
- The TransLink bus stop will remain operational on Cardena Drive but may be moved further down the road as needed to allow for drilling.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Bylaw Services on 604-328-5499 or bylaw@bimbc.ca.
