No signs of contractor trailers, all that’s happened is the Asphalt is all marked up. Hopefully equipment will be on site soon!

So the story I was told today is that when construction was supposed to begin in mid October, the property owner at this site did not like the placement decided upon for the parking stalls so put an end to the current plan.
Although I can agree that the placement that looks to be marked out in the parking lot isn’t a great spot for the business, it’s a bit frustrating that this came up last minute and has completely stalled the project. No idea when it will get going again. You’d think the placement would have been decided a long time ago…? I know this project has been in the works for years already

Well that's lame, was looking forward to this charger. That parking lot is empty every time I go by there, so I don't know what the owner thinks the charging stalls was going to do! (Except maybe bring them some business with a captive audience!)So the story I was told today is that when construction was supposed to begin in mid October, the property owner at this site did not like the placement decided upon for the parking stalls so put an end to the current plan.

I’m assuming that having the stalls right in front of Ricky’s would cause conflict with the regular patrons to that restaurant who like to park close to the entrance but don’t drive EVs. Behind the hotel or along the highway going west would be a better spot for the local businesses, imo. But still, how was that not sorted out long ago..?
Checked on Saturday and nothing was happening. Tonight, there seems to be action. Don’t want to jump the gun again and get too excited…but this time it looks like they actually broke asphalt. There’s a Spark Power work truck parked at the hotel as well so there must be workers on site.

New Activity at Castlegar also reported today. Things are changing to the positive! (Road Trip).
They are working through the weekend. Still mostly a hole in the ground but made some progress this week 
No cabinets up yet but I think I saw the pallet of them there waiting.

I believe it was changed to a construction pin on the false start back in October.
I’ll make sure to post some more photos this week on here though.
Right now it is still showing as a "Permit" on the supercharge.info map. Photos would be good even if the equipment is still in crates or wrapped. The Supercharger equipment can usually be identified before it is unpacked.
The packaging in the photos definitely confirms that this is a Supercharger. I'm not sure how to prompt a change to "Construction" on the Supercharge.info website.
Yea those have been there since last week. Just haven’t had a chance to take a good picture until today. Exciting times in Creston haha

@Chuq @corywright @MarcoRP @tes-s Please update the location of this site to 49.119664, -116.523832.
Stopped in an chatted with some of the gentlemen working the site today. Sounds like it should look very different by Monday so I’ll stop in for some photos early next week.
I thought it was funny too, but the workers must read these threads as well as they knew all about this page and the photos being posted. I always wondered if these guys know that we’re following their every move all over the province haha.
Also, they wouldn’t confirm, but I get the sense they might be moving to Nakusp next. Oh and they confirmed that the weather in November made Fernie QUITE the hassle to install haha. It was a quick chat but informative and I enjoyed it!

I realized after I posted last night that one of the workers mentioned a Revelstoke supercharger and this morning I’m seeing on the updated Tesla supercharger page that Revelstoke is getting a second one soon. So I’m thinking they may be headed to Revelstoke before Nakusp. I apologize if these updates shouldn’t be on this specific page.
Today’s picture update. Looks like they had a productive weekend! All the chargers are installed and they are digging the trench to the transformers. Will still need to replace the parking spaces.
Rumour has it that Fortis is bringing in a transformer next week…but I’ll believe it when I see it. If it’s true though, maybe they’ll do all the other Kootenay stations that have been sitting idle for so long.
