Overview
In April 2024, the Vancouver Police Department submitted a project permit application to develop VPD Boathouse Installation project at the foot of Main Street Dock, in Vancouver, British Columbia on federal lands and waters managed by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority.
As part of the Project and Environmental Review for the proposed project under the Impact Assessment Act, the proposed project was posted on the Canadian Impact Assessment Registry with an opportunity for public comment between August 9 and September 7, 2024. The port authority will conduct formal consultation activities with stakeholders and Indigenous groups.
About the project
The Applicant proposes to install two steel piles to support the addition of an already-built boat shed to an existing dock on the southwest side of the Main Street dock. To accommodate the boat shed, the project would require relocating an existing finger dock shoreward (to the east). The piles would be installed using vibratory or impact pile-driving equipment. Construction will be completed from a marine derrick anchored in place using spuds.
Works will be conducted during the Fisheries and Oceans Canada least-risk timing window for the Burrard Inlet (August 16 through February 28).
