\n<\/a>A weekly roundup of noteworthy news in municipalities across B.C.<\/em><\/p>\n

Campbell River<\/strong> city council is considering almost doubling its tax exemption area<\/a> for downtown commercial developments.\u00a0“Adding the additional tax incentive to redevelop this concentrated area will assist in the creation of a more attractive and vibrant downtown,” said a report to council from city staff.<\/p>\n

North Vancouver<\/strong> city council rejected plans Monday to move forward with a major redevelopment of the Harry Jerome rec centre, putting the matter aside while staff and council do some serious soul-searching over the city\u2019s density bonusing policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prince George<\/strong> is working to overcome its reputation<\/a> as the country’s crime capital.\u00a0The city has been\u00a0named Canada’s most dangerous city<\/a>\u00a0by Maclean’s Magazine three years in a row. Now, the city is working a new crime prevention program aimed children aged three to 16.<\/p>\n

The Delta<\/strong> portion of the South Fraser Perimeter Road would be called the Delta Connector if council had its choice.\u00a0The suggestion to designate a portion of the SFPR as the Delta Connector<\/a> originally came from Delta’s Heritage Advisory Commission, but ultimately the say is up to the province’s ministry of transportation and infrastructure.<\/p>\n

City of Kamloops<\/strong> budget consultations may have wrapped up this week, but the public will get another evening with city council in February to discuss downtown parking<\/a>.\u00a0Last summer, the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA) asked the city to look at raising meter rates and parking fines and switching from coin-operated parking meters to digital pay stations.The intent is to cut down on the number of business owners and workers taking up on-street stalls meant for shoppers.<\/p>\n
