To the editor:
Kelowna is the fastest growing city in, at least, Canada.
Yet it is nearly impossible, during the majority of the day, to get through more than two lights without coming up on a red light. We tend to leave one red light, and just as we get up to the speed limit, without gunning it, we come up on a just turning yellow light.
I drive professionally, I see it daily.
We are purporting to be a ‘green’ city and province, yet we likely create the most pollution due to our inefficient green light timing, as well as the insane number of idiots (mostly big dumb pickup truck drivers) that need to leave their cars running for the two to 10 minutes they need to be in the store.
And any ‘traffic study’ involving students counting cars, will not effectively gauge traffic flow in the city.
We have a highway running through the city. Yet we have green light timing of a horse drawn carriage hamlet.
