Water main lookouts and benches are being proposed where brush and trees are being cleared. Read on for a dam history lesson.
Popular North Vancouver outdoors destination Rice Lake is losing some trees near two adjacent dam sites, and you can have your say on public features slated to be installed there.
Metro has revealed initial plans for the to-be-cleared sites, and is asking the public for feedback on the designs via an online survey – which is open until Sept. 7. The landscape design principles are intended to fulfill safety standards, help visitors orient themselves at the lake within the surrounding area, and create new opportunities to spend quality time.
The south dam concept features two ring sections of a water main pipe to serve as looking portals on either side of the trail. The land-side ring will have signage with information about Metro Van’s water supply system.The south plan also proposes a topographical “wayfinding” sculpture, with a topographical map to help visitors orient themselves in the area.
Between 1913 and 1928, an improved dam and tunnel were built to connect with City of North Vancouver’s water supply system.
