Council leaves landfill access at Owl Road
KAMLOOPS — Kamloops council has put to rest a contentious traffic issue in Valleyview, keeping the access to the former Owl Road landfill where it is.
The city purchased the landfill last year, transforming it into the Kamloops Resource Recovery Centre, primarily meant to handle construction industry waste.
Council was considering several potential options for the access to the site, most notable moving it to Highland Road.
That pitted Valleyview residents who advocated for the move against Juniper Ridge residents, who saw a potential move as an unsafe incursion onto the only route into and out of their community.
