City taxpayers shouldn’t spend a dime on TRU’s pedestrian overpass
I CAN’T THINK of a worse place to spend a few million dollars worth of City taxpayers’ money than building a pedestrian overpass across Summit Drive from Upper College Heights to Thompson Rivers University.
The decision by the provincial government to facilitate a loan of $25.5 million for TRU toward the purchase of the privately run Upper College Heights student housing facility is good news.
In total, it’s a $37-million transaction that will provide another 142 student units on top of the 391 units already there.
