Surprise city engineering costs could impact size of Revelstoke skatepark

The Columbia Valley Skateboard Association said an unexpected, last-minute $68,100 engineering fee imposed by Revelstoke City Council has reduced their budget by 10% and will hamper their ability to deliver a 16,000-square-foot park, which is the size of the existing skatepark in Kovach Park. They're asking council for help to offset the new fee.
