KAMLOOPS — The City of Kamloops has unveiled its new Trails and Multi-Use Paths Accessibility Map, giving easy access to information to make a walk, roll or hike easier.
Kamloops officials said the idea began as an action item in the City’s 2023 Accessibility Plan, with development beginning in fall 2025.
The Accessibility Engagement Group — a community advisory group which helps the city work towards the 64 actions outlined in the Accessibility Plan — worked with City GIS and Social, Housing and Community Development staff to collect information to make planning an outing easier for everyone.
The new map provides detailed accessibility information such as classifications based on surface type, width and average and maximum grades; distance from noise sources, such as highways and railway tracks; details on the length and grade of uphill and downhill sections’, and nearby bus stops and public washrooms.
