“Mark, I think you were already aware of this, but the District came back and are very happy with the civil work that was done in Capilano on Tall Tree Lane, Carolyn Dr, and Quinton Ave for X212675. Just to note, response was received by DNV that their perspective is to improve all services and have reliable companies/contractors to do good work in their community.”
