The White Rock pier and waterfront will reopen next week, after White Rock city council decided Monday on a cautious reopening plan.
All parking along the popular beach and restaurant promenade will also be opened up, except for the west beach parkade.
The iconic White Rock Pier and parking in the area were closed to the public in March, due to COVID-19 concerns. The promenade was closed off on April 10 in order to curtail crowding and close contact among visitors.
Should city staff decide physical distancing for COVID-19 is not being followed the pier will close again.
The pier was closed all summer last year as it underwent repairs from damage caused by a storm in December 2018. It re-opened, ahead of schedule, in August 2019.
