Some West Kelowna residents are getting upset with heavy trucks rumbling through their neighbourhoods - especially along Boucherie and Gellatly roads.
City Engineering Manager Rob Hillis says these roads are labelled truck routes so businesses in those areas can receive deliveries and pickups.
"We may revise the bylaw and not label them truck routes, but there will be some truck traffic through residential neighbourhoods to deliver goods and services, but the intent is to minimize any bypass traffic through West Kelowna," he says.
And Hillis says that's what's been happening - trucks not making deliveries in the city are using these roads to avoid a usually busy, and slow-moving, Highway 97 to get to Kelowna and beyond.
He says the city is looking for public feedback on how to amend its bylaw to crackdown on truckers skirting the highway - but keep the routes open for business - a questionaire is on West Kelowna's website.
