Sidewalks
Side walks are seriously lacking .
I notice the city makes people who split a lot build side walks.
Why did the city never think to build them.
Dodsland Sask. Population 200. Has sidewalks!

I'm gathering you are talking about Kelowna, but in the Category "Central Okanagan", it could be West Kelowna, ? Peachland ??
Might be a thought for all to Headline topes with areas/locations "Kelowna - Sidewalks", "West Kelowna - Sidewalks"

Speaking of the mission for the most part but its all parts of town. Everywhere else i have ever been every residential street has side walks. Here they are rare

Re: Sidewalks
Newer subdivisions have seen developers putting in sidewalks. City of West Kelowna has put in sidewalks in multiple areas.
Truths can be backed up by facts - do you have any?

Re: Sidewalks
We, the homeowners on our street, paid for the sidewalk on our street.
No other City Taxpayer was on the hook.
Know what ?
A large portion of the pedestrians still walk down the street.

The city makes it mandatory to install curbs/sidewalks with any new development, its mostly WFN that has been installing sidewalks on existing roads

Re: Sidewalks
There are no sidewalks on our street and it is dangerous. We're on a school bus route, there are a ton of pedestrians including young families and there's quite a lot of traffic for a residential street. Part of what makes it dangerous for pedestrians is having to maneuver around the parked cars which puts you in the direct path of moving vehicles. Cars park as far off to the side as they can (for obvious reasons), but then there's often no space for pedestrians to squeeze past (due to fences, vegetation, large rocks, etc).The pedestrians end up having to go around the cars into the middle of the street which is totally unsafe, especially for parents pushing strollers or walking with toddlers and young kids. It isn't just the odd car either. Our street is mostly multi-family dwellings so there are cars parked everywhere. I've thought about writing to the city about this, but would it make a difference?

Re: Sidewalks
What makes it dangerous is drivers not slowing down in a populated congested area.

Re: Sidewalks
Downtown the sidewalks are blocked in many places by the overgrown old growth vegetation from older properties.
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

Re: Sidewalks
Compared to other places I've lived, the sidewalks and street lighting infrastructure in kelowna and west kelowna are really lacking. Even where there are sidewalks they tend to just randomly end, or switch sides of the road. I guess its still that rural orchard town infrastructure in many areas.
