The object of this project is to provide reliable, economic access a recently developed tide and current meter located below the 2nd Narrows Railroad Bridge. The primary information display will be in the Vancouver Port Authority, Harbour Master's Office at Granville Square (200 Granville Street). 

To reduce the distance of the radio link and the likelihood of future radio interference, the existing, private fiber-optic network, that terminates on Commissioner Street, will be used.

This will be a joint venture undertaking between CoastWorks Internet of Sidney, BC and Fairview Broadband Wireless of Vancouver, BC. The proposed Installation will commence on the bridge Thursday July 5, 2001 with project completion before August 15, 2001.

This project was approved by Terry Curran 250 363-6583 - Engineer for Institute of Ocean Sciences, Sidney BC.
