“The road was such poor shape that people had to drive slow,” City of Kamloops parks manager Jeff Putnam said. “But because it’s in good shape now, we’ve had to put some speed bumps in.” Completion of improvements to the McArthur Island ring road came in on budget and slightly ahead of schedule, according to Putnam. The first phase of the project — one portion of the ring road reconstruction, from the old golf course clubhouse to the arena — was completed last summer and the city completed the remainder of the road this spring, at a cost of $350,000. In addition to reconstructing the road, the city also fixed up pathway that runs parallel to the road.
