City of Kamloops awards Lansdowne parkade project at higher budget
KAMLOOPS — The City of Kamloops has awarded the tender for its controversial Lansdowne parkade improvement project, and the price is going up significantly.
The project is largely aesthetic in nature, with contractor A&T Project Developments cleaning and painting the parkade, and installing a metal mesh over the exterior.
After that work is complete, artist Bill Frymire has been commissioned to create a large-scale mosaic made out of tiles.
Capital Projects Manager Darren Crundwell says A&T’s winning bid resulted in the city needing to budget another $250,000 for the project.
