Gellatly Multiuse Corridor - CWK ImageOur transportation approach is to explore and investigate viable solutions to create a multi-modal system, providing options that are affordable to taxpayers and beneficial to cyclists, pedestrians, transit and vehicles.

Council funds road network maintenance and improvements based on recommendations in our master plans, which contain short, medium and long term strategies intended to create a sustainable, multi-use system. The main guiding documents are: The Transportation Master Plan, adopted January 2014; and The Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan, adopted February 2016.

The City of West Kelowna also works with BC Transit, consults with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and participates in regional transportation planning programs with other local governments.

Bus:

Services are provided in West Kelowna through the Kelowna Regional Transit System, managed by BC Transit. Present and proposed future improvements to the system can be found at: Transit Future Action Plan Update

handyDART:

handyDART is an accessible, door-to-door shared service for people with permanent or temporary disabilities who can't easily use fixed-route transit without assistance from another person. To register or book at trip, visit handyDART.

Cycling:

Our Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan provides a practical approach for improving cycling facilities in West Kelowna. The principles are to:

  • Support active transportation, recreational activity and tourism
  • Connect to regional transportation routes
  • Provide route alternatives to Highway 97
  • Improve routes with gentler grades (less than 8%)
  • Create multi-use facilities along the waterfront

Sidewalks and walkways:

Our Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan provides a practical approach for improving sidewalks and walkways in the community. The principles are to:

  • Improve accessibility to schools, community centres and transit
  • Make our urban centres more pedestrian friendly
  • Link neighbourhoods to shopping areas
  • Create links between other popular destinations such as parks and attractions

Roundabouts/Traffic Circles:

ICBC provides useful information about the safety and traffic flow benefits of roundabouts and traffic circles and how to use them. Please visit ICBC's Roundabouts Page for more information.

Traffic Calming:

As the City of West Kelowna continues to grow, an increase in traffic volumes or change in patterns may occur. In an effort to address these changes, Council has adopted a Traffic Calming Policy, to identify the best means and methods managing traffic in the community.
