YESAB decision document for North 60 Petro Cardlock

Yukon Government has altered the recommendation of YESAB to upgrade the intersection(s) at Hillcrest and the Alaska Highway within three years as part of the North 60 Petro project. It has been changed to allow for upgrading at some point in the future, with no timeline or commitment attached, substantially weakening the recommendation of YESAB.

You can read the full decision document here.

Reminder about cleaning up after your pet

The HCA has received several complaints from residents about dog walkers who are not cleaning up after their pets.

Be a thoughtful neighbour and pick up after your dog. There are free poop bags available at the Elijah Smith trail and the entrance to the park.

Response from City of Whitehorse RE: YESAB application at #3 Roundel

The HCA contacted the City of Whitehorse to find out how they might address the question of traffic management for the proposed cardlock refueling station at #3 Roundel in Hillcrest.

Since YG will not permit access to the lot from the highway, it will be a municipal issue.

We received this response from the Mayor’s office.
