BC Sustainable Energy Association: Kamloops Chapter

Exciting news! The City of Kamloops is moving forward with with a project that will support a continuous north-south bicycle route from Aberdeen to Batchelor Heights and create key connections in the City’s active transportation network. The Summit-Downtown Active Transportation Connection completes the links on either end of the Xget’tem’ Trail to create a continuous route from the top of Summit Drive to the Lansdowne Transit Exchange. The 6th Avenue bike lane will be a separated, fully protected two-way bike lane designed to AAA (all ages and abilities) standards; the first of its kind in Kamloops.

This is great news for all residents! Active transportation promotes health and reduces carbon emissions and safe pathways provide social equity for those unable to drive. Let The City know you support the effort to develop active transportation routes by participating in the Let's Talk project discussion and if you can, by joining the virtual information session January 25th at 4pm.
