Downtown Vernon Beautification


A heads-up for drivers in Vernon's downtown. Construction work is expected to start next week on part of 31st Avenue. One block, just east of 32nd Street, will be the first to get the beautification treatment before crews move in by Cenotaph Park. City staff say they are still waiting for a design of that block from BC Transit. That's where the new downtown bus terminus will sit. Total cost of the two block project is around a million dollars. Improvements will include decorative lighting and a canopy of trees on both sides of the road.

Am I the only one that thinks moving the transit terminal to cenotaph park undesirable? Certainly not convenient to seniors at the west end of town! And park space should not be compromised!
