Kamloops lines a road to nowhere

KAMLOOPS – The City of Kamloops has some explaining to do.

Drivers near The Dunes golf course on Westsyde Road may not have even noticed newly painted traffic lines but for one terrible exception: A white road marker that drifts right across the road and into another lane before finding its place again on the other side of the road.

We are waiting on City of Kamloops officials for an explanation and we’re hoping it has nothing to do with the Privato Winery location sign.

Until then, it doesn’t appear the wayward line will contribute to any collisions and residents appear to be having some fun with it on social media.

News is best when it's local, relevant, timely and interesting. That's our focus every day.

We are on the ground in Penticton, Vernon, Kelowna and Kamloops to bring you the stories that matter most.

Marshall may call West Kelowna home, but after 16 years in local news and 14 in the Okanagan, he knows better than to tell readers in other communities what is "news' to them. He relies on resident reporters to reflect their own community priorities and needs. As the newsroom leader, his job is making those reporters better, ensuring accuracy, fairness and meeting the highest standards of journalism.
