Nova Scotia Power, in partnership with Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and the Nova Scotia Department of Energy, is expanding the province's fast-charging network. As announced earlier this year, Yarmouth has been selected as one of 15 locations to receive new Level 3 DC fast-charging stations. The stations will be installed in the Brown Street parking lot, with the project kicking off the week of May 12th.
➡ Disruptions and Closures Expected
The installation project is expected to take approximately 4-6 weeks. During that time, the public can expect the lot to be partially closed, in particular, at the Hawthorne Street entry/exit. Also, there will be six spaces fenced off during this time, which will become four EV Charging spaces. Also, for 2-3 days, the sidewalk on Hawthorne will be blocked off.
New parking spaces are being proposed to maintain as much parking capacity as possible, besides adding EV fast charging spaces.
Updates on the project, including closures and changes to access, will be made available via the town's community notifications service "Alertable", the town's website, and here on the town's Facebook page.
