Study Targets Park Traffic

  Polson Park entranceIt's an in-camera issue so Vernon council members are not saying much about a traffic impact study looking at the area around Polson Park. Councillor Catherine Lord says the city will pay a consulting firm $7,560 to do the study that a declassified motion calls a 'consolidaiton of tourism facilities.' "Just to see what type of traffic is there, and what needs to be done," says Lord. Mayor Rob Sawatzky says it will review traffic going in and out of the park but he could not provide other details. The funding will come from the Additional Hotel Room Tax reserve.

Why do they have to hire a consultant when they have two people in the TDM department?
