VICTORIA The City of Victoria has picked a Vancouver-based team to lead design and construction of a multi-million dollar skate and bike park in Topaz Park. The group, New Line Skateparks, was chosen after the city held a public competition to head the $3 million project. According to the city, New Line has experience building more than 300 park projects across Canada and the world over the past 20 years, including in the U.S., Australia, Europe and Asia. The New Line team is made up of landscape architects, engineers, community outreach specialists, construction professionals and arborists. The city adds that many of the team members are also high-level skateboarders and BMX/mountain biking enthusiasts.
Both Eby and Malcolmson received mandate letters from Premier John Horgan directing them to work toward providing “an increased level of support including more access to nurses and psychiatrists for B.C.’s most vulnerable who need more intensive care than supportive housing provides.” In light of that, the mayors envision a test run at five sites each with 40 to 50 beds for people who continue to slip through the cracks despite the government’s investment in temporary housing at former hotels and motels. “In a nutshell, we’re talking about folks who are at harm to themselves and the public, who don’t fit in the current model of supportive housing being provided by the provincial government, which means they need more intensive care,” said Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran, who co-chairs the mayors’ caucus with Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps.
