BC Hydro is planning a major new building and works yard in North Vancouver for its crews to serve the North Shore and Sea to Sky corridor. City of North Vancouver council voted unanimously Nov. 20 to approve the utility's request for a rezoning of the property at 630 Brooksbank Ave. to be refreshed with a new three-storey, 56,831-square-foot building, which will be oriented to the east side of the property on Lynnmouth Avenue. The building will include seven truck bays for Hydro's local fleet, as well as underground employee parking, while the yard will house two covered storage structures, a covered vehicle storage building, plus areas to store supplies. As part of the project, the city will receive a five-metre road allowance along Brooksbank “to facilitate future transportation upgrades.”
