That one councilor Charlie Hodge sounds like he is straight out of Vision Vancouver. Stating that he hopes a second crossing is never built...
Strange how much people in BC love start and stop traffic.
Couple that with the Peachland upgrades likely going through with traffic lights...

I'm confident something will come up by 2035-2040. Kelowna just needs to build Clement to suit short term needs and not allow anything to develop that would hinder its future conversion to a freeway. I do agree that in the interim, a freeway to nowhere doesn't make sense. Clement as it is has very little traffic anytime of day so we shouldn't be throwing a huge amount of taxpayers money at it. Even Enterprise Way which the Clement Ave extension would be relieving is not horrible and was my preferred route over Harvey Ave during rush hour.
I think South Perimeter Road is also a potential corridor as the province did not confirm the location of a second crossing.
