Kamloops Voter Asks:
Are there any specific ways that you can see that the city can better serve the business community?
I believe revitalizing and redensifying downtown and the Kamloops core will greatly improve local business. Downtown Kamloops should be a destination where locals and visitors should want to spend lots of time, walking around the shops and eating some incredible food. Right now we have a bit of a parking issue but I believe that if we can get more high rise real estate buildings near the core less people would need to drive to work and therefor it would free up parking. By investing in the core of Kamloops we will attract more tourism which will improve business revenue. I also believe that if we could move the farmers market to a block or two of Victoria street and have the booths down the centre while the stores are open down the side we can really capitalize on the proven success of our farmers market.
