A: The Windbreak Street project has been pushed back a month.
The Brocklehurst upgrades — which include a new bioswale, sidewalks, traffic-calming islands, improved bus stops and crosswalks — were originally expected to be completed by Oct. 15, but that date has been bumped to Nov. 15.
City of Kamloops capital projects supervisor Rick Ewings said a few days of bad weather along with some added utility work — including sanitary and water services to properties on that road — account for the extra time.
It’s added about $30,000 extra to the project’s price tag, pegged at around $2.1 million.
“The original budget for all the work was just over $3 million,” Ewings said. “Everything seems to be well within [the budget].”
It may not look like much has been done as of late, but Ewings said it’s because most of the work is happening underground.
“It’s sort of hard for people to see,” he said.
