No Worries For Rebuilding Along Nechako
By 250 News
Prince George, B.C. - With new rules in effect in Prince George related to building near a river, residents impacted by the ice jam and flooding of Nechako need not worry.
Bob Radloff, the head of Development Services says it is important to look at it on a site specific basis “If there are people who are obviously there now and wanting to move back, I think, wisely, we certainly would have no difficulty with that.”

Radloff says there should be any problem for homeowners, or businesses which have to repair, or even rebuild because of severe damage “I think if you apply common sense and have some input from specialists who normally are involved with this on where we’re going to go with building redevelopment there shouldn’t be any issue.”

How about this. Are they building this dirt dike on top of River Road using the provinces emergency funds as a way to double dip in the building of the ill conceived Cameron street bridge?
It is my understanding that this project planned for 9mil allread is substantially over budget and well on his way toward 15mil. My prediction is this will cost 20mil for the wrong solution.
Common sense indeed!! I wonder if the provincial politians know about this?
