Mount Boucherie Traffic
April 23, 2010
Results of the Survey
Executive Summary
As the south Mt Boucherie area of West Kelowna continues to grow with residential development, the area is increasingly becoming the subject of traffic issues.
To help the District gain an understanding of travel patterns and characteristics in the south Mt Boucherie area, it is conducting a Travel Survey of residents in the area.
A specific consideration is the potential for providing additional road connections across the mountain (at Menu Rd and/or McCallum Rd), since such connections could have both positive impacts (e.g. emergency vehicle access, transit route opportunities, and shorter / more direct drive times for some residents) but also negative impacts (new or increased cut-through traffic on some streets).
The survey also provides residents the opportunity to express any other traffic and transportation concerns in the area, in particular traffic volume, road safety, public transportation, pedestrian facilities and cyclist facilities.
The results of the survey will be used in the development and investigation of traffic mitigation options and will provide an important consideration for the future planning and design of the neighbourhood traffic system.
A public meeting was held April 22, 2010 at the Westbank Lions Hall to provide the public with the results of the survey.
