MILE 0 MARKER PROJECT
The community of Lund has
built a “Mile 0” marker at the location of the beginning/end of Highway 101.
Lund launches the initial
leg of the Pacific Coastal Highway, one of
the longest highways in the world, which ends in southern Chile, approximately
15,202km south.
Through the Lund
Community Society, permits were acquired and funds were raised for this
historic marker which is located in the centre of the bus turnaround circle
between Dave’s Parking Lot and the Lund Hotel.
The marker was designed
to be permanent and require no maintenance.
It was constructed with cement and surfaced with locally-supplied split
rock. Bollards delineate the marker for
the safety of visitors who come to Lund to take photos of this unique
structure.
This is your opportunity
to become a part of history. To raise
funds for the “Mile 0” marker, the Lund Community Society is selling
handpainted ceramic tiles to be embedded into the step around the base of the
marker.
Forms are available at
SunLund By-The-Sea, the Lund Hotel front desk, Nancy’s Bakery, and the Lund
