A project to upgrade the elevator in Vernon’s downtown parkade on 31st Avenue is expected to take over two months.
“The much-needed upgrade is part of the city’s building condition asset management plan and was earmarked as a priority project within the approved 2020 capital plan for a total cost of $200,000,” a city news release informed.
Work on the elevator will begin Thursday April 1 and is anticipated to be complete by mid-June.
“During this time, the west stairway will be closed from time to time while the contractor refurbishes the car; however, the north stairway will remain open for pedestrians,” the city release said.
