3rd sinkhole found near southwest condo construction site

City inspectors are waiting for a report on a sinkhole that appeared on Wednesday the third that's developed adjacent to a condo construction site, CBC News has learned.

Autilia Nunziata, who owns a rooming house at 314 14th Ave. S.W. and rents out the parking stalls in the back, found the front passenger tire of a pickup truck stuck in the sinkhole on Wednesday morning.

She called the vehicle's owner Shaun McNaughton at work.

"It was sure strange to see an open hole with literally no dirt.The dirt just disappeared, just a giant open hole. They're not even sure where all the earth went," said McNaughton.

On May 1, a sinkhole was discovered in the parking lot of a condo building at 313 13th Ave. S.W. Thirteen residents were evacuated from the building because the hole was adjacent to a structural support. Engineering reports cleared their safe return four days later, and the sinkhole was filled and paved over.

Residents said a sinkhole was also found in the same lot last summer.

The three depressions are all adjacent to the Centuria on the Park construction site owned by Lake Placid Developments.

Wednesday's hole has been filled with gravel, while city officials await an engineering report from the developer on what caused it, and how to prevent another one from developing.

The city confirmed there has not been testing around the perimeter of the construction site.

"They don't say anything, they just say going to fix it up and don't worry about [it]," said Nunziata, who has owned her property for almost 40 years.
