Chamber supports proposed parkade plan

 

The board of directors of the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce today voted to support the City’s proposed parkade plan in Riverside Park.

 

“The Chamber has met with the City of Kamloops Development Services Department to discuss the reasons around their proposed site for this project,” states Peter Aylen, President of the Chamber.  “When we learned that the parkade’s elevation would only reach two feet above street level on the east end and eight feet on the west end, we realized that the plan thoughtfully considered the surrounding areas and the vistas from all angles.”

 

The Chamber acknowledges the City’s consideration of taxpayers’ money with construction planned on an existing parking lot already owned by the City.  “This plan significantly reduces the costs to our citizens compared to construction on other sites,” states Aylen.
