How 107 downtown employees scored $55,000 parking stalls
KAMLOOPS — ITEM: City of Kamloops announces that 17 more stalls in the new parking lot on the old KDN property have been reserved for permit holders, bringing the total to 107.
Upon checking with the City, the Armchair Mayor is informed that there are now only 74 spots left for the public.
And while the public parking rate in the lot is only 75 cents an hour compared to $1.25 at the on-street kiosks, the City intends to reserve more of the parking lot spaces for monthly renters if there’s a demand.
Rationale being that the more monthly renters who use the new parking lot, the fewer will hog on-street parking spaces downtown. And that, in the meantime, the cheaper rate for the public spots will lure some shoppers off Victoria Street.
