Update: Sooke Potholes Gateway Enhancements

The District of Sooke received a grant for $358,000 to revitalize the Sooke Potholes (Lot 1 - Sooke Potholes Gateway) by widening two staircases that access the beaches from the parking lot, constructing two accessible pit toilets, adding wayfinding and visitor information, and refurbishing the parking lot which will provide accessible stalls and additional capacity for parking and social distancing. In June, the District awarded the engineering services contract to McElhanney to provide construction-ready design, project management and construction services for the project.

Staff are currently reviewing the final design drawings in preparation for tendering later this month.

Current timelines will work towards project completion by the May-long weekend. However, supply chain issues could impact this schedule.
