Kinder Morgan approval could lead to more beautiful Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — A major beautification project in Brocklehurst is a little closer to reality, thanks to the approval of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.
The city has long considered a facelift for the Tranquille airport corridor, but wanted to wait to co-ordinate it with the replacement of a sewer main, and the potential pipeline expansion.
North Shore Business Improvement Association Executive Director Steven Puhallo says the project would include pedestrian and multi-use paths, a landscaping makeover, and a roundabout at Airport Road.
Puhallo says “with the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion being approved, that brings it one step closer, and in about 2 1/2-3 years, I’m looking forward to walking down that multi-use path, across Brocklehurst, and being able to see people coming out of the airport getting that first great opportunity to view Kamloops.”
