The City is looking for resident input to identify new route opportunities within Kelowna’s existing and future bike network! Your feedback will help determine where new bikeways are a suitable option to improve safety, connectivity, and comfort for all road users. There are two routing studies underway and multiple opportunities to have your say — both in person and online.
Neighbourhood Bikeways
Neighbourhood bikeways are typically located on streets with low traffic volumes and speeds, where cyclists and motorists can safely share the road. They often include special features that help prioritize bicycles, calm traffic, and connect neighbourhoods to the larger bicycle network. While neighbourhood bikeways are new to Kelowna, they are considered a high-quality bicycle facility that is appropriate for people of all ages and abilities. Neighbourhood bikeways are used successfully in many other cities across Canada and the United States.
The City of Kelowna is seeking input on how best to incorporate neighbourhood bikeways into our bicycle network. There are multiple opportunities to let us know what you think:
