Julie Asks:
After having lived in more than a few cities, I have found Kamloops lacking in many different areas such as transit, road maintenance, traffic flow, taxis (very big issue!) and pedestrian accessibility. Have you taken into account these issues and what are your solutions be timeline?
Thank you,
Julie
Yes I have heard from many people about these issues. Transit routes need to be improved to make that a more viable option for people who live around the city. Pot holes need to be properly patched and we need to look at resurfacing the roads that are the most damaged. Bike lanes should be mandatory on all new roads so that cyclist have a place to ride but also so that there is room for snow to be collected during winter. Having designated detour routes for larger trucks would also be something to look into so that they are not needing to travel through the main arteries of the city. I would also like to see more programs like the ride share and rental car services that TRU has set up.
