Bolts in Larimer
Curently there is a large project going on in Larimer. Its small... but for the city, its the largest to date.
What the project is doing is pretty much making a retaining wall, in order to build the new power plant. A (very) similar project happened right nerby to support some warehouses. The hill is way to steep to support large buildings, but with the new idea of retaining walls, Large buildings are now possible on steep hills.
In about a month, the Larimer Power Plant was completed. It is now the largest power plant in the Vancouver region, which is now needed for the growing region.
The wall also allows for other factories and warehouses to be built in the area too.
Another wall has also been constructed about a month ago. It was funded by Blahbady Blah III. What it is, is a retaining wall, similar to the one near the powerplant, only its to keep the ocean back. Almost half of urban Vancouver is less than a meter below sea level. This area, Blahbady is perticulary worried about, (since its near his house), so he funded a seawall to be built around the former, Agate Island. The causeway is now almost as wide as the former island. The "island" is still called an island by locals, but tecnichly it is a peninsula, or as said on maps, "Agate Point". Soon it may not even be that...
