Gotta Go Roadside Facilities
Public engagement has concluded for this project.
The Gotta Go project would provide restroom facilities along a portion of the Alaska Highway. If you live in Electoral Area B, Hudson’s Hope, Taylor, Chetwynd, or Tumbler Ridge, this will affect your taxes if approved.
If you approve of the Gotta Go Roadside Facilities Service Establishment Bylaw No. 2440, 2021, no action is needed.
If you are opposed to the PRRD adopting Gotta Go Roadside Facilities Service Establishment Bylaw No.2440, 2021 without holding a referendum, you may submit an Elector Response Form to the Corporate Office on or before 4:30 on July 30, 2021.
