Imishini yokudlala evame ukuphithizela izingane ngosuku libalele iqoshwa ngeteyiphu “yokuqapha” ephuzi, ivaliwe ukuze kuvinjelwe ukusabalala okungenzeka kwe-coronavirus yenoveli. Eduze, okwamanje, idolobha lilungiselela isimo esiphuthumayo sesibili - izikhukhula.
NgoMsombuluko, abasebenzi basedolobheni baqale ukufaka umgoqo oyikhilomitha ubude, osebangeni lezempi ngemuva kwe-Rivers Trail belindele esinye sezikhukhula seminyaka engu-20, okulindeleke ukuthi sidale ukuthi imifula inyuke phezu kosebe futhi iye endaweni eluhlaza.
"Uma singazange sibeke izivikelo epaki kulo nyaka, ukuqagela kwethu kukhombisa ukuthi amanzi afika e-Heritage House," imenenja yezinsiza ze-City of Kamloops u-Greg Wightman etshela i-KTW. "Isiteshi sokuthutha indle, izinkundla zebhola lebhola, ipaki lonke lizoba ngaphansi kwamanzi."
I-barricade iqukethe obhasikidi be-Hesco. Enziwe nge-wire mesh kanye ne-burlap liner, obhasikidi bakleliswa futhi/noma bayapakishwa futhi bagcwaliswe ukungcola ukuze bakhe udonga, empeleni usebe lomfula lokwenziwa. Esikhathini esedlule, bezisetshenziselwa izinjongo zezempi futhi zagcina ukubonakala eRiverside Park ngo-2012.
Kulo nyaka, umgoqo uzohlanganisa amamitha angu-900 ngemuva kwe-Rivers Trail, ukusuka e-Uji Garden kuze udlule nje kumagumbi okugeza asempumalanga yepaki. UWightman uchaze ukuthi lo mgoqo uzovikela ingqalasizinda ebalulekile. Yize abasebenzisi bepaki bengase bangaboni lapho behambahamba ku-Rivers Trail, ingqalasizinda yendle ifihliwe ngaphansi kwendawo eluhlaza, nomgodi ongajwayelekile onezimpawu zamapayipi angaphansi komhlaba. U-Wightman uthe amapayipi endle adonsela phansi aholela esiteshini sokumpompa ngemuva kwezinkundla zethenisi ne-pickleball.
“Lesi ngesinye seziteshi zethu ezinkulu zokuthutha indle edolobheni,” kusho uWightman. "Yonke into esebenza kuleli paki, ukuze kusetshenziswe izimvume, amagumbi okugeza, i-Heritage House, konke okungena kuleso siteshi sokumpompa. Uma imigodi etholakala kulo lonke leli paki, phansi, iqala ukuthela amanzi kuyo, ingaqala ukusinqoba leso siteshi sokumpompa. Ingase isekele izinto kuwo wonke umuntu osempumalanga yepaki."
UWightman uthe ukhiye ekuvikelweni kwezikhukhula wukusebenzisa izinsiza ukuvikela ingqalasizinda ebalulekile. Ngo-2012, isibonelo, indawo yokupaka ngemuva kweSandman Centre yagcwala amanzi futhi kungenzeka iphinde yenzeke kulo nyaka. Ngeke ivikelwe.
"Indawo yokupaka akusona isisetshenziswa esibalulekile," kusho uWightman. “Asikwazi ukusebenzisa imali noma izinsiza zesifundazwe ukuvikela lokho, ngakho sivumela indawo yokupaka ikhukhule, indawo yokupaka sizoyisusa lapha kusasa, izoba ngaphansi kwamanzi kulo nyaka, sivikela ingqalasizinda ebucayi.
Isifundazwe, nge-Emergency Management BC, sixhasa ngezimali lolu hlelo, olulinganiselwa u-Wightman olulinganiselwa ku-$200,000. U-Wightman uthe idolobha lihlinzekwa ngolwazi oluvela esifundazweni nsuku zonke, nolwazi kusukela ngesonto eledlule lusabikezela okungenani izikhukhula zonyaka owodwa kwengama-20 eKamloops kule ntwasahlobo, nokuqagela okuphakeme njengezikhukhula zomlando ezisukela ngo-1972.
Ngokuqondene nabasebenzisi bepaki, u-Wightman uthe: "Kuzoba nomthelela omkhulu, ngokuqinisekile. Ngisho namanje, i-Rivers Trail entshonalanga ye-pier ivaliwe. Kuzohlala kunjalo. Kusukela kusasa, i-pier izovalwa. Ulwandle luzobe lungekho emikhawulweni. Impela, lezi zithiyo ze-Hesco esizibekayo, sidinga abantu ukuthi bahlale ngaphandle kwalabo, kodwa bazobe bephephile ukuze baqhubeke bephephile. lezi.”
Ngezinselelo, ngenxa yezinyathelo zokuqhela ngokomzimba ezikhona ukuze kunqandwe ukusabalala kwe-COVID-19, idolobha lilungiselela kusenesikhathi. UWightman uthe enye indawo okungavalwa kuyo imigoqo kulo nyaka yiMcArthur Island phakathi kweMackenzie Avenue no-12th Avenue, okuyizindawo zokungena ezimbili.
UMeya uKen Christian ukhulume ngodaba lwamalungiselelo ezikhukhula ngesikhathi kuqhubeka isithangami sabezindaba. Utshele abezindaba ukuthi izindawo ezisedolobheni ezisengozini enkulu yezikhukhula ziseSchubert Drive naseRiverside Park, okuwumhubhe onengqalasizinda ebalulekile.
