With steady community growth and high demand for urban services, infrastructure improvements are a must for the City of West Kelowna.
| Capital Projects |
|
A capital project refers to the purchase, upgrade, expansion or build of a City asset that requires a substantial capital investment. Often called infrastructure, these projects include extending sidewalks and active transportation networks, improving roadways and drainage, adding to the city’s extensive parks system and upgrading equipment in arenas.

Potholes |
|
Each year, City crews will fill more than 750 potholes on our roads. Potholes can develop along roadways due to moisture getting through the asphalt surface followed by repeated freeze/thaw cycles and vehicle traffic. Temporary pothole repairs are completed during the winter months when roads are clear of snow and ice and permanent repairs occur during the spring/summer months. To report a pothole on City of West Kelowna roads, submit a online service request. |
| Roads, sidewalks and street lights |
|
Roads and sidewalks maintenance and improvements are the most highly requested services in West Kelowna. We respond to requests on a priority basis.

Street Sweeping |
|
Sweeping begins after snow and ice melt from road shoulders. Crews start in lower elevation neighbourhoods and move upwards as the snow melts. The City of West Kelowna Road Network is more than 260 kilometres and sweeping work takes approximately eight weeks; however, weather, on-street parking, and other obstructions can hinder work. Learn more about our Street Sweeping program. |

Winter Road Maintenance |
|
Crews are hard at work before, during and after the snow falls to keep our community moving. Find out more about our Snow and Ice Control. |
