A hydro pole situated in the middle of a stretch of road in Colwood has confused drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, said Josh Andrews, head engineer for the city.
BC Hydro plans to remove above-ground power lines and run power underground at Veterans Memorial Parkway and Latoria Road in the Victoria suburb, but the timeline is unclear, he said.
But that timeline did not work for Colwood and there was a decision to either delay the road’s opening for an unspecified amount of time or to pave the road now and put in safety measures, according to Andrews.
