City council will consider options including increased RCMP patrols, private security and concrete traffic barriers.
Prince George city council will consider options for enhanced security at the Lower Patricia encampment, named Moccasin Flats by residents, on Wednesday night.
“The costs associated with these options, less the previously approved RCMP overtime patrols, are currently not budgeted for,” Davey wrote. “To be clear, these security enhancement options are unlikely to result in a safe living environment within the Lower Patricia encampment. The encampment continues to be a hazard to human health and life safety, and the City recommends occupants use available shelter space.
“The roving patrols would operate within the vicinity of the encampment, to include Upper Patricia, the encampment boundaries, and the industrial areas East of Queensway. These patrols would act as an early warning for 911 response, in an ‘observe and report’ capacity,” Davey wrote. “Because of the passive observe and report nature of private security, the return on investment may be marginal.
Installing 150 No-Post concrete barriers along the 740 metres of road right-of-way through the encampment will help ensure emergency vehicle access, and was estimated to cost $80,000 to purchase and install.
