Nadine Turpin Asks:
Good infrastructure is very important to any city. The roads in Kamloops are noticeably in very poor condition, specifically on the south shore including Valleyview drive. Patching the roads is not a viable long term solution. Can you advise what your role will be in advocating for better roadways in Kamloops? What is the city’s plan for resurfacing and improving our road ways? Thank you.

One potential project that might save Valleyview roads from unnecessary traffic wear is this one: "... Valleyview bypass, as identified by the Province, on the bench lands between Valleyview and Juniper Ridge. The City will continue to work with the Province to understand the need for additional capacity improvements throughout the Southeast Sector. …" - Prepared by Urban Systems Ltd. (for City of Kamloops)
