Price George, B.C.-  Paving  projects  have resumed in Prince George, and to keep  residents up to date on  what’s being paved when,   the City has  developed an  app.

The app,   which can be accessed here,  shows a map of the City  and  areas where work is  either underway (0range),  completed ( green)   or planned for this paving season (pink).
