North Shore BIA launches survey to address safety concerns
KAMLOOPS — The Kamloops North Shore Business Improvement Association says it wants to compile some data to speak to countless stories of people feeling unsafe in the Tranquille business corridor.
The organization has launched a survey of its membership in an effort to better lobby for resources to tackle the problem.
Executive Director Steven Puhallo says one pocket of the business corridor has been a particular hot spot this summer.
“In the south end of the Tranquille Market corridor, in and around 177 Tranquille and where Mac’s is, our merchants are just feeling overrun,” said Puhallo. “They feel like there is no safety on the street, and they’re fighting it daily.”
