Between Oliver and Osoyoos it functions as both a major regional highway and a farm-to-market road. It probably doesn't need to be upgraded to 4 lanes.

Osoyoos to the 3A junction is fine as is. Making it 4 lanes would actually take away from the character of the area.
3A to the north end of Penricton 4 lane limited access (like the Lougheed Highway)
North of Penticton to UBC Okanagan, full controlled access freeway. 4 lanes except 6 lane bridge over Okanagan Lake. From Peachland to UBC completely new route.
North of UBC to Vernon, as is save for maybe one or two new interchanges.
