The City is pleased to share that 4th Avenue is paved and the 4th Avenue Sewer Upgrades Project is progressing well!

Here are some important timelines and impacts to be aware of as crews work towards the completion of the 4th Avenue Project, and hit some major Kamloops Centre for the Arts milestones:

March 28-mid-May: The 4th Avenue Project closure area will move south of the intersection at St. Paul Street to Battle

Street until project completion expected in mid-May. Pedestrian access will be maintained on the west side of 4th Avenue.

• There will be no exit from the alley south of St. Paul Street onto 4th Avenue. Vehicles must enter at either 3rd or 5th Avenue and return the way they came.

Ongoing: Increased truck traffic and activity will begin at the Centre for the Arts site as Hall Excavating mobilizes to

site and begins deep excavations, including shoring.

• The City will be installing vibration monitors in the area that will provide real-time data to allow crews to actively track vibration levels and make immediate adjustments to construction methods if needed. This proactive approach will help ensure work is carried out safely, with ongoing monitoring and responsive changes based on feedback.
• Expect truck traffic and heavy equipment along Seymour Street as crews begin deep excavation.
• Eradication of select on-street parking and loading zones, as well as select sidewalk closures surrounding the Centre for the Arts site will remain in place to accommodate improved traffic flow and ensure safety for all.
• The speed limit within work zone on 4th Avenue has been reduced to 30 km/h as a precaution to protect crews working on site.

PARKING MANAGEMENT

The City is aware of concerns around reduced parking near the Kamloops Centre for the Arts construction site.

To lessen the impacts to surrounding residents and businesses, construction vehicles will minimize long-term use of nearby on-street parking, which is in high demand. Steps are also being taken to reduce pressure on local parking, including encouraging construction crew carpooling and off-site parking.

These measures are part of the City’s ongoing efforts to manage impacts and respond to community concerns throughout the duration of the project.
