Downtown Vernon is in line for some support to keep business bustling amid this pandemic.

Curbside pickup locations may be tested out along 30th Avenue for three months, starting Dec. 1.

Twelve locations on 30th Avenue, between 29th and 35th streets, are proposed, with two curbside pick-up locations per block, one on each side.

The exact locations are to be identified by city staff in consultation with the Downtown Vernon Association, which is pleased to see progress on the initiative.
