An Issue Arises!

I was researching the affects of laneways in Kamloops today and on the City of Kamloops website I came across this link to a youtube video.

CurbsideCollectionMsg Laneways:

This is one of the first issues with laneway houses that I have discovered, if the lanes are not kept tidy and wide enough for garbage collection trucks to travel down them then there may need to be some more though put into the way the new laneways are built. Keeping this potential issue in mind, maybe the construction vehicles should be kept out of the lane on garbage day and the extra materials stored on site should be kept out of the way of the lane.
