Kamloops council delays downtown parking rate increase
KAMLOOPS — You’ll still be paying $1.25 per hour to park downtown next year.
That rate was slated to rise to $1.50 as of January 1, but Kamloops council has delayed that increase for a year at the request of downtown businesses.
The Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA) had requested the delay, saying promised parking improvements funded by previous increases have not materialized.
The 25-cent increase was projected to add $230,000 to the city’s parking reserve fund in 2018.
