City of Trail

The City of Trail is preparing for a series of sanitary sewer system spot repairs as part of its ongoing trenchless rehabilitation program, which may affect water service, transit routes and road access in several neighbourhoods.

The top of Fifth Avenue Hill in Trail is closed to vehicles now until the end of October as the city advances its Bowser Street sewer main replacement project.

The City of Trail says it's taking steps to improve safety on a residential street.

City council gave its blessing last week to submitting the application to the Strategic Priorities Fund, which is administered by the Union of BC Municipalities.

Changes are coming to the way Trail handles its beautification program following the departure of the group's longtime chair.

Bartlett Tree Experts was the highest-ranked of five qualified bidders and will do the work for $58,575 plus tax.

Trail's police chief says the city has a "very mild issue" with open drug use compared to other parts of BC, and he believes they have reached the limit of what can be accomplished with enforcement.

Chris Buchan, who most recently worked as a senior planner for the Islands Trust, will lead planning and development initiatives, support climate action programs, and help implement Trail’s updated official community plan and zoning bylaw. 

The pool at the Trail Aquatic Centre and Leisure Centre won't reopen on Monday as expected.
