To the editor:
I operate a guest house in Peachland, and the guests who have to pass through Kelowna to get here are often shocked by the traffic congestion and have no wish to go back there during their holiday and its still only June.
They also all prefer to go south on their day trips instead and some even decide to go back home via Osoyoos, so that they do not have to anticipate the prospect of having to endure being held up in a Kelowna traffic jam.
So a big thank you to the planners who, not so many years ago, did not have the foresight to plan for a second Kelowna bridge or bypass and thank you to the residents who still feel there is no need to build this. While this attitude continues, Southern Okanagan towns can continue to look forward to many more visitors boycotting Kelowna and coming south instead.
