Active Transportation

Active transportation projects are ramping up across the city. This year, we are extending bike lanes and adding sidewalks to communities throughout West Kelowna.

By choosing active transportation, you'll improve your physical health, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save money on gas and vehicle maintenance.

Our Official Community Plan and Transportation Master Plan updates are underway. We are reviewing how our city will grow over the next 20 years and how to connect people to the places that matter to them. Through this process, we will look at how our streets can serve a broader range of users and transportation modes – whether it is walking, biking or taking transit.

Learn more about our active transportation projects below. Please note: timelines are subject to change based on contractor schedules and other factors.

Pedestrian improvement projects

Our Pedestrian Improvement Program prioritizes active transportation in areas close to schools, transit locations and town centres. Improvements include sidewalks, concrete curbs, storm improvements, street lighting, line painting and more.

Old Okanagan Highway Active Transportation Improvements - In Summer 2023, crews will complete construction of 300 metres of sidewalks on the east side from Dobbin Road to Ingram Road. This project also includes new bike lanes from Dobbin Road to Ingram Road, streetlighting and stormwater improvements.

Multi-use Pathway Projects

Whitworth Multi-use Pathway – Crews installed a new paved multi-use path with signage and pavement markings line on Whitworth Road to connect to Pebble Beach. This path also connects to the Regional District of Central Okanagan Goats Peak Trail. The project was completed in Spring 2022.
Boucherie Multi-use Pathway - In 2023, crews will complete construction of a new multi-use paved pathway from Ogden Road to Green Bay Road. The project will be completed in two phases:
- Phase 1: Gregory Road to Green Bay Road
- Phase 2: Ogden Road to Gregory Road
  - We are working closely with residents and businesses in the area, including wineries along the Wine Trail to reduce the impact on adjacent roads and vineyard operations while we build. Visit OurWK.ca/boucherie to learn more.
