New street lighting that reflects the history of Powell River’s early days is being proposed by Townsite Ratepayers Association.
Powell River Community Forest has encouraged the group to apply for funding, and Townsite Heritage Society, City of Powell River and BC Hydro have been asked for support.
The first phase will convert sodium-vapor streetlights to LED technology, and light standards more in keeping with street lamps of the 1900 period.
The streetscaping improvement would be along Ash Avenue from Henderson Park down to Rodmay Hotel, then onto Yew Street and Walnut Street from Dwight Hall to Henderson House.
