Pilot project aims to help revitalize downtown Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — The City of Kamloops is launching a downtown pilot project in partnership with the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA) in hopes of bringing Fourth Avenue to life this summer.
The Summer 2018 Plaza Pilot Project will run from July 26 to August 12, and will involve closing Fourth Avenue to vehicle traffic from the alley between Victoria Street and Lansdowne Street, to the alley between Victoria Street and Seymour Street. Victoria Street will remain open to east-west traffic.
The project comes on the heels of input from the community in May, and major landowner feedback received in June.
It will feature a “pedestrianized” environment with lighting, seating areas, planters, street trees, and street games.
