Re: Jennifer Schultz’s letter of Feb. 27 (‘Let’s update sign of our city’s times’):
There are other entrances to the City of Kamloops that badly need attention.
The area behind the Railway Plaza is one. This is where the Rocky Mountaineer trains arrives with tourists.
It is a shameful mess. The area is often used by people who don’t care about leaving their junk and garbage behind.
It is a piece of land where at least three houses once stood and might, therefore, still be private land? Who is responsible to clean up the mess?
Another area that is a great embarrassment for our otherwise “blooming” city is at the end of Riverside Park, where the Rivers Trail joins the ramp to Overlanders Bridge.
The bank on the river side truly looks like a dump.
Two years ago, the Ask Wellness Centre did a wonderful job of cleaning up Petersen Creek.
Are there no other groups available to deal with these neglected areas?
It certainly wouldn’t impress the tourists — and it depresses those of us who frequently walk these areas.
