Locations

In October 2018, the Gotta Go partners piloted a test site at km 319 (Trutch) of the Alaska Highway. The site includes two accessible outhouse facilities, garbage cans, a cellular booster tower and a DriveBC camera. Picnic tables have been purchased and are ready for placement. An information kiosk and additional signage are still to come.

Based on the success of km 319 (Trutch), the parties have identified the pullouts at km 250 (Sikanni Check Brake), and km 536 (Steamboat) for the development of future sites. The Parties have received a grant in the amount of $285,750 from Northern Development Initiative Trust, to be used for the construction of the km 250 (Sikanni Brake Check) and km 536 (Steamboat) locations.

The Parties have agreed that a Maintenance Trust Fund will be created to fund the maintenance of all three sites, and that each Party will supply predetermined funding to the Trust. The PRRD has agreed in principle, that if the service function for ‘Gotta Go’ is created, that the PRRD will fund future maintenance costs for km 319 (Trutch), and km 250 (Sikanni Brake Check).
