A new report finds the park would cost the city $68 million over a 50-year-life cycle
Prince George City Council will be deciding on the next steps for the proposed Mega Park project following a life cycle cost analysis for the project that details how much the park would cost for the city to maintain over a 50-yea-period.
The proponents first brought forth the idea to city council on March 14 and then on July 25 council received a report with the results of community consultation held to gauge the public interest for a Mega Park at the corner of Ospika Boulevard and 22nd avenue.Council then directed staff to fully investigate the financial implications of the proposed park to facilitate an informed and responsible review of the project.
The other park amenities include features such as a washroom with a changeroom, picnic shelter and tables, trees, benches, turf, and irrigation. The analysis did not include costs associated with the site preparation works such as geotechnical and environmental investigation or service connections that will be required for the park.The potential economic impacts the park would have on the community were also not considered as the report was based strictly on the life cycle costs of the park features and on the operation, maintenance, and eventual renewal of the park’s infrastructure.
