The City of Prince Rupert is moving forward with plans that could see two portions of city road permanently closed to make way for future development. During the regular council meeting on May 11, 2026, officials will consider two separate bylaws to remove the highway designation from the two sites.
The first proposal, Bylaw 3672, involves closing approximately 942 square metres of dedicated highway. The second proposal, Bylaw 3673, would close about 619 square metres. Both closures are intended to support future development of the surrounding lands, with reference plans for the sites prepared by engineering and surveying firm McElhanney.
Residents who wish to share their feedback have until the day of the meeting to submit their thoughts. Written comments must be sent to the Deputy Chief Administrative Officer, Rosamaria Miller, by 4:30 p.m. on May 11, 2026.
The City of Prince Rupert Council is expected to discuss the proposals during its session beginning at 7:00 p.m. that evening.
