The results of the Alternate Approval Process to create an electric vehicle charging service will be received at the Board meeting on Tuesday February 23rd, and we will consider whether to adopt the service establishment bylaw. The RDN received 68 elector forms from Area B electors by the deadline (76 in total were received from the 4 electoral areas). The number of responses received registering opposition to the bylaw did not exceed 10% so I will be supporting the bylaw.
I sincerely thank all of you who have reached out to me to either express your support of the project or to register your concerns. Most of the concerns I heard were not necessarily against the concept of providing a charger but rather were concerned about the idea that we won't initially charge for use. I understand the concerns. I will be bringing that topic for discussion on Tuesday and will look to accelerate the consideration of charging for use.
