Coquitlam wants FortisBC to build a Coquitlam Crunch extension before the company moves ahead with upgrades to its Eagle Mountain compressor station. City manager Peter Steblin said Monday the utility provider has been slow to iron out details on what it intends to provide the host community in terms of an amenity contribution.
