Should Kelowna Extend Clement Avenue to Reduce Midtown Traffic?
Official title: Clement Avenue Extension
Why This Matters
Commute through Kelowna's Midtown? You know the bottleneck. With 50,000 more residents expected over 20 years, traffic will only get worse. This road could cut your drive time and eventually make room for better bus service on Highway 97.
What Could Change
A new four-lane arterial road would cut through Midtown with intersections at Spall, Dilworth, Enterprise and Highway 33. Expect a mix of traffic signals and roundabouts. The Okanagan Rail Trail would be realigned but kept intact, possibly with improvements like wider paths and better crossings.
Key Issues
- How should the road design balance traffic flow with trail user safety?
- What improvements are needed for the Okanagan Rail Trail during realignment?
- How should intersections be designed - signals or roundabouts?
