Re: Summer Street Noise is Intolerable, June 10 Capital News.
I also live with constant traffic noise, excessive loud motor cycles, dirt bikes, cars with modified mufflers and speeding, and I live near a residential street in Kelowna.
Frost Drive in Upper Mission has no stop signs and is an open invitation to speeders. This is a newer residential area with people who pay high taxes to live here. Every summer is ruined by these inconsiderate speeders and noise makers. We cannot enjoy our patios because of the noise levels and worry about an impending accident at Frost and South Ridge.
A traffic calming roundabout at Frost and South Crest would slow traffic but still maintain traffic flow. It would also remove the need to pull out past stop signs on South Ridge to see oncoming traffic.
This is a developing area with many more homes being built and these problems will only get worse.
