good morning,

what is going to happen with the old hwy beside wood lake in lake country? and suggestions?

There have been so many suggestions, but as far as I know it will still be a thru road to Oyama renamed Pelmeway Parkway (stupid name).

Actually it's Pelmewash Parkway, even stupider.

I thought it was Pelmaway Parkwash.But I could have it wrong.

Would be nice if they resurfaced that whole stretch after they open the new part. Anyone know if that is in the works?

Last I looked it was Washaway Parkpalm. But I could be wrong.

Wasn't it Parkaway Washpalm?

The way people drive I thought it was
Parknwash Facepalm??

Crazy plan. They should tear up that old, useless, duplicated road and sell the lakefront lots to recoup the money spent on the new highway! There are always wealthy people who are looking for lakefront in the Okanagan. But what does the gov't care? They'll just tack the costs on to the tax bills and like good, obedient, Canadian sheep we'll just keep paying and paying and paying!

Um, how are people suppose to access these lots if you tear up the only road leading to their houses? Leaving the road is the most reasonable thing to do because it allows access to the lake as well as the properties along that stretch of road.

Simple, read his post again, the road is duplicated silly..

But it is mostly cliff on one side and lake on the other so how would you have access?

IMPO

It should left as is just as parts of the old highway between Vernon and Oyama was to be used as service & access road.

How ironic that you should preface your idea with the words "crazy plan".

Once the new highway is open the old highway will be transfered to the district and it will be there responsibility for upkeep. I also heard the speed limit on the old stretch will be lowered to 50 kph. and yes that is a stupid name
